im seting up a scrip pipe for postfix + spamassassin as a filter in
postfix.

this really works how ever i have a prb with the FWD depending on the
recipent, can any one help me with this line

if $EGREP -q -i "To: *kav [at] domain.net*" < /var/tempfs/out.$$

how can i tell egrep to check for any format of To: in the email heder.

===================

SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix -i"
EGREP=/bin/egrep

EX_UNAVAILABLE=69

SPAMLIMIT=5

trap "rm -f /var/tempfs/out.$$" 0 1 2 3 15

cat | /usr/bin/spamc -u filter > /var/tempfs/out.$$

if $EGREP -q "^X-Spam-Level: \*{$SPAMLIMIT,}" < /var/tempfs/out.$$
then

KEV=kalinga [at] orbitsl.net

if $EGREP -q -i "To: *kev [at] domain.net*" < /var/tempfs/out.$$
then

$SENDMAIL admin [at] domain.net < /var/tempfs/out.$$

else

$SENDMAIL spam [at] domain.net < /var/tempfs/out.$$

fi

else
$SENDMAIL "$ [at] " < /var/tempfs/out.$$
fi

exit $?

======================================

thanks a lot

Kev

You did. Perhaps something else in your query is blocking you, or maybe
you just want grep, it doesn't look like you are using "Extended Regex"
here.

'man grep' might be some more help to you.

However, why reinvent the wheel?

yeah i got it to work with the way i have put there, but the prb is that
email addred comes as many formats like

To: "Kev" <kev [at] domain.net>
To: Kev <kev [at] domain.net>
To: <kev [at] domain.net>
To: <kev [at] domain.net> "Kev"

etc etc.... so my above way dont work :(

thank you for the input but this box act as a relay for the exchange
servers in the local network, so i dont think procmail can do the fwd
part with out a .forward, if im not mistaken.

Something like:

$EGREP -q -i '^To:.*<kav [at] domain.net>'

should do the job - note the couple of differences:

^ to match only at beginning of line
.* to match any number of any character other than newline
between To: and the e-mail address enclosed in brackets

One subtle (?) bug in your original is that it says, roughly, "match
the literal string "To:" followed by zero or more space characters
followed by the literal string "kav [at] domain.ne" followed by zero or
more 't' characters. In other words, "To:kav [at] domain.ne" would match,
as would "To: kav [at] domain.nettttttttttttttttt"...
