[gentoo-user] using procmail to store mail in some box

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


I'd like to use procmail to store mails (coming from stdin) 
into an certain mailbox (mbox) given by commandline. Does 
anyone know how I could do that ?

The manpage only states how to use an different config file,
but this would require one extra configfile per target box.


thx

Not sure what you mean above.  Is incoming being passed in from smtp
or what?

Please explain a little bit more about what you are trying to
accomplish.

You can invoke INCLUDERC from your .procmailrc that would contain
special stuff for a specific mailbox or several mailboxes.

My guess is your need is simpler and can be addressed with a simpler
approach but first we must here what you are trying to accomplish.

You could call procmail with '-a <mbox>'. Then the name of the mailbox 
will be accessible as $1 inside procmailrc.
