mail filters

2002-07-11 Thread David Gerler

Hi,
I am trying to setup mail filters on my domain that is on a virtual host.
I have a copy of TPJ #18 (Summer 2000) and have read the article about mail
filtering. The problem I am having is finding out where to put the .forward
or .qmail file to direct mail to my script. I have attempted to use find on
the server without any luck.
If anybody has any input. I would appreciate it.

put it in your home directory.

for example, my login is fliptop, and my home directory is

/home/fliptop

so i'd create the file

/home/fliptop/.forward

  Thanks. It seems to find it but it kills all mail delivery. This is
  what I am putting in the text file:
 
  |/home/gerleren/test.pl
 
 
  Where test is a test script copied from TPJ that should kill only
  specific email addresses (not the exact duplicate of TPJ chuckmail
  but based on it). Is that correct? The mail server is exim.

dunno.  i use procmail and sendmail.  here's what i put in my 
..procmailrc file:

:0:

| /home/fliptop/bin/filter.pl

this is off topic for a cgi mailing list, perhaps you should try another 
more appropriate list?  maybe [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
