That does not seem to match what I broke down as the rule.
Whose account is getting filtered. That will help analyze the
rule. The loop through GMail is muddying the water here. And note
that you CANNOT do the "else" clause without a clone operation. I
presume that is what the GMail loop kludge is supposed to do.
Without the loops through GMail what is it you are trying to accomplish?
Let's break this down to what you really want to do to email that
is coming in and who are ALL the people whose email are being processed?
If you subtract out the loop are you trying to make a courtesy copy to
one or more other addresses for all mail that is coming in? Your
brief description below suggests that is the case. But the whole GMail
loop is "undocumented" so it's hard to guess what really gets done.
Who all SHOULD be getting copies?
The forwarded lines really obfuscate the GMail end of things, since it
seems to be a loop and you're trying to avoid the loop.
I think procmail is doing exactly what you wrote when you forgot there
is no DWIM flag on procmail. I'm not sure, from your description,
whether it is ever possible to match the second rule if the first
rule matches. Certainly the second rule never gets played if the
first rule passed. And if the first rule passes an email through
it also will fall through the second rule.
1) So let's get incoming addresses, even if its "foo1@gmail" and
"foo2Qpoof" as long as the number of addresses is right.
2) How is this email getting to procmail?
3) What end results are you expecting?
4) What happens when you send the email to krai...@gmail.com?
5) Are you concerned about CC?
6) Are you concerned about BCC? (Which may not be possible to handle
in all cases.
Sometimes going through the problem definition again can clarify the
path to a solution.

Let's try this:
In simple form, it looks like this:
if (message does NOT contain header) {
send to GMail
} else {
drop in recipient mailbox
send copy to other email
}
The first recipe works, as specified, and does what it should do which is to
check whether an incoming e-mail to the system contains that specific header
line. If the message does not, that e-mail gets bounced out to GMail instead.
(Gmail's job here is simply filtering and forwarding it back.) Done, end of
processing.
When the message comes back from GMail, it will have that X-Forwarded-For line
in it, in which case the recipe sees it and exits, and the message gets dropped
in the user's mailbox.
That's it, that's what the first recipe does. It works. Note: this is NOT a
system wide recipe. It's user specific, namely my account only. I'm simply
forwarding a copy to a coworker, but only after things come back from GMail's
filter, not before.
I'm trying to add to that by sending a copy of the message after it's been
returned from GMail (and therefore contains the header already) to another
e-mail address as well as dropping it in the recipient's mailbox.
The reason I have those two lines at the beginning of the second recipe is to
make sure the only messages being copied are those that contain that header.
Otherwise, I may end up sending duplicates of the same message, once when it
first arrives, and again when it comes back from GMail. At least, I think
that's what will happen if I omit those lines. I could be wrong.

OK, you do not want things to continue processing. So what I posted will
not solve your problem.
So what you have for rule 1 is:
not Xforwarded to both kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com> and
ash...@pcraft.com <mailto:ash...@pcraft.com>
and not xforwarded to both kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com> and
ash...@pcigrafx.com <mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com>
and not from kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
and not to ashley@papillon.pcraft.__com
forward to kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
What you have for rule two is the first half of rule 1 to another
recipient:
not Xforwarded to both kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com> and
ash...@pcraft.com <mailto:ash...@pcraft.com>
and not xforwarded to both kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com> and
ash...@pcigrafx.com <mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com>
forward to salesdept@wherever
Is this a general rule for all mail coming into the system to any
recipient? Presuming it is then email to geo...@gmail.com
<mailto:geo...@gmail.com> will be
sent off to kirash and processing ends there since it fails all the
conditions and the conditions are anded and inverted.
Mail to kirash will fall through both rules.
Mail from kirash will match the third test which means it's false
when inverted and the mail falls through to the second rule and gets
forwarded to salesdept.
mail to ashley will fall through the first rule and be diverted salesdept
by the second rule.
Mail that has been xforwarded to kirash and ashley (at either address)
passes one of the first two rules which when inverted fails the procmail
rule for both rules 1 and 2 so they simply pass through.
So have account phil at phoo.com <http://phoo.com> send a message to
geo...@pcraft.com <mailto:geo...@pcraft.com>
and see what happens. I believe it should pass through. So you'd see
both rules hitting. You can forge a test message and feed it through
procmail to see what happens with the rule.
For testing let's try this set of rules:
:0
* !^X-Forwarded-For: kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>> ash...@pcraft.com
<mailto:ash...@pcraft.com> <mailto:ash...@pcraft.com
<mailto:ash...@pcraft.com>>
* !^X-Forwarded-For: kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>> ash...@pcigrafx.com
<mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com> <mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com
<mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com>>
* !^From.*kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>>
* !^To.*ashley@papillon.pcraft.____com <mailto:ashley@papillon.__pcraft.com
<mailto:ash...@papillon.pcraft.com>>
/tmp/foo1
0:
* ^X-Forwarded-For: kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>> ash...@pcraft.com
<mailto:ash...@pcraft.com> <mailto:ash...@pcraft.com
<mailto:ash...@pcraft.com>>
* ^X-Forwarded-For: kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>> ash...@pcigrafx.com
<mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com> <mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com
<mailto:ash...@pcigrafx.com>>
/tmp/foo2
/tmp/foo3
That should sort the mail to three different destinations in /tmp. You
can easily see where the messages go as you try variants without polluting
mail boxes.
I'm wondering about this line in the first rule:
* !^From.*kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>
<mailto:kira...@gmail.com <mailto:kira...@gmail.com>>
Is that really what you mean? I presume it is. But if it's not that could
lead to confusing results when you test.

No, the second rule should ONLY process when a message passes the first

The basic rule to remember with procmail is that once the email is

I imagine you also want the second rule to continue processing as

The way this should work is as follows:
- new e-mail arrives at the recipient's box and procmail picks
it up and
checks
the X-Forward-For header
- if the header does NOT contain any of those listed, it
forwards the
message to
the specified gmail address
> STOP <
- if the header exists and contains any of the matches listed,
the
message gets
dropped into the recipient's inbox
AND
- it is at this point that I want it to also forward a copy of
said
message to
the second e-mail address
The first rule works as expected. Message comes in, first rule
checks
it and
upon failing, bounces back out to gmail. Nothing happens after
that.
When the
message returns, it passes the first rule and gets dropped in
the
recipient's
box. When I added the second rule, nothing changed. The first
keeps
running as
is and the second is simply ignored.
Now, perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that when it comes back and
passes
the first
rule, it will also run through the second rule. Is this a case
where I
need to
write things wrapped in a nest? Sort of like an IF .. THEN ..
ELSE?

Ashley, it might pay to explicitly say, in words, what you
think you
want to do if the first rule passes, if the first rule
does not pass
and the second rule passes, and if neither rule passes.
As it is your description of passing the first rule is the
correct
action for what you've developed as a rule. You have
delivered the
email and rule processing ceases at that point. So you
might have
to clone the output of the first rule to pass it to the
second rule
IF that is the action you want based on your
disappointment at these
rules doing what you told them to do.
