Procmail script
Hi,

I need to write a procmail script such that:

- incoming email is scanned to see if it is spam
- if spam deliver to spam folder
- otherwise deliver to inbox and send a copy to another address.

So far I have:

Code:
:0
* ^Subject:.*SPULK
DUMB

I can make a new recipe on to forward mail to the user's inbox and the other address. Since if it is not spam, procmail will just read the next receipe. If it is SPAM procmail will just execute what is in the first recipe and then get out of .procmailrc

MAILFILTER(1)							   User Manuals 						     MAILFILTER(1)

NAME

       mailfilter - Filters e-mail, gets rid of spam

SYNOPSIS

       mailfilter [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Mailfilter  is  a very flexible utility to get rid of unwanted spam mails, before having to go through the trouble of downloading them into
       the local computer. It offers support for one or many POP accounts and is especially useful for dialup connections via modem, ISDN, etc.

       Mailfilter connects to any POP mail box and compares part of its content to a set of user defined filter rules.	That  way  the	spam  gets
       deleted directly on the mail server.

       With  Mailfilter  you  can  define  your own filters (rules) to determine which e-mails should be delivered and which are considered waste.
       Rules are Regular Expressions, so you can make use of familiar options from other mail delivery programs such as procmail(1) for example.

RETURN VALUE

       The mailfilter program normally returns 0 but -1 if an error occurs.  However, if it has been invoked with the  return-value  command  line
       switch,	it  gives  back a positive integer in case there are messages on the POP server.  Empty POP accounts would then result in a return
       value of 0.  Using the switch, mailfilter can be embedded into a shell script more easily.

CONFIGURATION

       The behaviour of Mailfilter is controlled by command-line options and a configuration file. The program will not start without it.  Example
       configurations  can  be	looked	up in the mailfilterex(5) man page, in the INSTALL document or inside the doc/ directory of the Mailfilter
       distribution.

       By default Mailfilter tries to read $HOME/.mailfilterrc to get all its settings from. This is the place where all changes should  be  made,
       unless it is explicitly specified otherwise. A comprehensive list of all supported options and keywords can be found in the mailfilterrc(5)
       man page.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Display help information

       -L, --logfile=FILE
	      Specify logfile location

       -M, --mailfilterrc=FILE

       -r, --return-value
	      Enable additional return values

       -t, --test
	      Simulate deletes

       -i, --ignore-time-stamps
