I have procmail installed and working with fetchmail.
There is only one problem...
If I have more than one email in the To: or CC: fileds and both these email
addrresses are supposed to go to two different folders... they do not...
both email go to the same folder...
How do I setup .procmailrc so that it parses the entire To: or CC: fileds
first before moving them to a directory?
In the example below if an email has both support and user1 in CC: or To:
fileds I will get two emails in the support directory....however if
there is
only one email address in the To: or CC: fileds the emails will go to the
appropriate directory... any help would be great.
Here is my .procmailrc file
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
#VERBOSE=yes
:0
* ^From:.*postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx*
/dev/null
:0
* ^TOsupport@
$MAILDIR/support
:0
* ^TOuser1@
$MAILDIR/friends
Both of these last two recipes are "delivering" recipes, which means
that procmail stops processing the mail when it matches one of them.
What you could do would be to add the "c" flag to each recipe (":0 c"),
which would mean that the mail was copied for the purposes of those
recipes and processing would continue even if either or both of those
were matched.
Of course, you would then find that mail for either or both of these
addresses went on to be processed by any further recipes in your
procmailrc (so it would get delivered to the default mailbox as well by
default). You'd need to add another recipe to prevent that if that's not
what you wanted.
You could try something like this. It should do what you want.
