Hello users,
Right now I am using a procmail based router to handle spam filtering for users.
There are good reasons to do this, so please don't make any suggestions just yet;)
Okay, now that we've agreed, I can explain further. That router is only run for
certain local parts and it relies on the system-wide procmailrc.
Now I would like to enable a vacation service. The hurdle I am facing is how to
get the vacation.msg (or other file) that I can use with the vacation router
into the user's home directory. I have a procmail recipe that can do this - a
user simply sends mail to themselves (maybe abused I know) with a defined subject
and the file is created in their home. Another message with another defined
subject will delete the file from their home.
I would like to implement this using a (the?) global procmailrc and I am torn
between myself on how to do this. This new router (call it vacation_router)
should run for all users regardless of whether the router for spam filtering
had already been run. Here are the typical setup currently:
ROUTER:
procmail_spam:
driver = accept
transport = procmail_pipe
local_parts = cdb;/usr/local/etc/exim/spamcheck_users.cdb
check_local_user
TRANSPORT:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/local/bin/procmail -a ${sender_address} -d $local_part
check_string = "From "
escape_string = ">From "
user = exim
group = mail
return_fail_output = true
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
Now, is there a way I can run a second router to achieve my desire
without it interfering with the above router?
If no, does someone have another suggestion that can me accomodated
within this one?
Pointers are welcome, whether divergent or not.
cheers
