[SLE] procmail sorting in SuSE 10.0
Hi, Is it possible to set up procmail filters to work on the sent box rather than the in box?

Procmail delivers/sorts mail *to* you.

In that case, are there any other techniques available to sort out the sent / out box? I'm thinking of the many times a reply to a filtered mail has to be fished out of the sent box manually.

yes, using folder-hook see the discussion about June 11-12, msg IDs: 20060611142724.GA5740@init0.homeunix.org 20060611205322.GB7288@localhost.localdomain 20060611233918.GA24069@davescrunch.capncrunch.net Subject: Fcc hook simplicity? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Or setting the Fcc in Pine. In Mozilla, go to mail "account settings", select "Copies & Folders", tick "Place a copy in:", "Other", then choose the folder. Nevertheless, I think procmail would sort it, if a way to feed it the sent email can be found. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Yes, using formail, but that is a kludge and perhaps not dependable. This question would have to be posed in the procmail list as I am not knowledgable enough to script it. I have seen code doing direction on outgoing mail, but do not have it readily available. A search of the procmail archives might yeald interesting information, but I would not have a klue (clue) what search terms would give usable output. Formail has many uses. note: formail is included in the procmail package. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Right.

Ah! I hadn't noticed that, I thought they were independent. Funny!
