First, the procmail recipe Paul is referring to is called (depending on
whom you ask) either "html-trap" or "the 'Enhancing E-Mail Security
with Procmail' recipe", by John Hardin. It's available at:
http://www.wolfenet.com/~jhardin/procmail-security.html
The latest revision is 1.104, dated 2000-05-10. Html-trap works fine
alongside the SpamBouncer, another fine procmail recipe, from Catherine
Hampton. It's at:
http://www.spambouncer.org/
Next, the answer to Paul's question. (This is probably a FAQ;
nevertheless, since it's easier for me to find the answer in my
/etc/exim/exim.conf than to look in the FAQ, today is someone's lucky
day...).
This is for exim-3.14, on my local dial-up machine. In the transports
section of exim.conf, i have:
# First transport: Something resembling the default local
# delivery transport.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
# Yada-yada-yada...
# Second transport: Where procmail happens. Be *sure* you
# understand the various freeze, log, and
# return options; they may not do what you
# want or expect.
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
delivery_date_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
freeze_exec_fail = false
group = mail
log_defer_output = false
log_fail_output = false
log_output = false
return_fail_output = false
return_output = false
return_path_add = true
umask = 0022
The procmail_pipe transport runs procmail as a delivery agent for each
user.
Next, in the directors section, i have:
# First director: The regular /etc/aliases stuff.
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
# blah, blah, blah ...
# Second director: The regular .forward stuff.
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
# etc., etc.
# Third transport: Aaah, this is what you were waiting for.
localuser:
driver = localuser
#transport = local_delivery
transport = procmail_pipe
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note how the default local transport is commented out, and the
procmail_pipe transport is used as the default transport.
I'm fairly certain it's possible to set up procmail in ~/.forward
according to the procmail(1) manual page, but i never bothered to
figure out how to do that when it was this easy in exim.
Disclaimer: IANAEE (I am not an exim expert). IWFM (it works for me).
