Just forward directly to the address you wish in the procmail recipe. Far more secure. Plus, you need to protect yourself from looping, so use this before you foward your email: HERE_XLOOP=ben_b+procmail at thishost.domain.tld :0 fhw * $ ! ^X-Loop: $HERE_XLOOP |formail -I "X-Loop: $HERE_XLOOP" Then forward as usual. Remember, you could always use the formail as a delivery recipe (remove "fhw") and pipe the output to "| $SENDMAIL -oi me at thathost". -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
