Subject: splitting an email account

From: Hugh Rutledge <[email-masked]>

I have a request from a user who wants to have certain email directed to a
designated directory rather than his regular inbox.  The senders of the
email would be known and cooperative.

Is there a way to set an email filter or for the mail senders to direct
email to this subaccount?

The obvious answer would be to give the person a second email account but
this is not possible.

First off, you're an idiot.  Please remove 21 of the lines in your sig.

Second, see below.  If you don't understand this, then don't ask me
questions.

Third, upgrade your copy of sendmail, it allows for open relay.

OK folks, here it is.

o  This is a procmail file, or recipe.
o  This is how to filter mail.
o  You put this file in your home directory.
o  This is used to filter email.
o  This file is called ".procmailrc"
o  One could use this to filter email.
o  Do not use the "'s
o  Filtering email is the art of putting things in different places for
   the ease of reading them.
o  This is from one of my machines. You cannot simply cut and past
   everything from my machine to yours and expect it to work.
o  People use things JUST LIKE THIS ONE to filter email.
o  You have to do some research on YOUR system to make this work
   correctly on YOUR system.

		The dotted line is not included in the file.
			Remove the dotted line.

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/opt/local/bin:.

  Press the delete key until there are no more "-" in the line above.
		Again, remove the dotted line.

Set MAILDIR to wherever your want your mail stored.
You CAN _NOT_ use the ~username/mail syntax.  The full path MUST be
spelled out, ie, /home/kwoods/mail

Set DEFAULT to wherever the incoming mail is stored. 
most likely, /var/mail/username, or /var/spool/mail/username

The LOGFILE is a log, or record, of what procmail is doing with the mail. 
Useful for troubleshooting.  Again, spell out the full path. This file
will get VERY BIG, VERY quickly.  Remember to delete is every once in a
while.

You can also use PC-Pine 4.21, which has built in filtering - it's
actually quite easy to use.  Once you have it installed, type M, S, R, F
to get to the filter screen, and setup a filter.  Just have a unique
subject to make it easy to filter.

Pine is also perfectly happy filtering based on the From: line instead of
the subject.
