set procmail as your LDA (local delivery agent). This can be done by modifying the .mc file to include: FEATURE(`local_procmail') The resultant sendmail.cf will have a line containg something like: Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/Hdr FromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u Here's where it gets tricky (or cool). Now you can create a systemwide procmailrc eg /etc/procmailrc that contains what you want to execute but to have this take affect, you'll need to have a .procmailrc in all users accounts (eg in the mailman account?) containing something like: INCLUDERC=/etc/procmailrc Thus users will have their own procmailrc and run the systemwide one. This can be done automatically on solaris by putteing a template .procmailrc into /etc/skel. Sound complicated? You're right. Probably, a better way to handle this might be to set up a sendmail ruleset that automatically does this without the need for procmail. But writting sendmail rulesets (even if they are only three lines or so) can be scary.
