Re: Procmail issue

["Ashley M. Kirchner" <ashley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah.  I realize that's probably what's getting jdow confused as well.  Hopefully my previous message explains it better.  One bit I forgot to add, was something jdow asked, 'what happens if someone e-mails kirash4@gmail directly'

GMail forwards it back to my @pcraft domain.  And that too will have the X-Forwarded-For header in it.  So yes, the *only* messages that should reach the second part of the recipe, are those who have gone through the GMail loop (and therefore will contain the X-Forwarded-For header).  Those messages are the ones I'm wanting to a) drop in my mailbox and b) send a copy to a co-worker.

Also asked was, why not use CC or BCC or a simple forward.  I tried the forward path.  Thing is, that happens both when the message arrives the first time as well as the second time, after getting filtered.  So that won't work.

As for CC and BCC, I can't ask everyone and every list to send a CC/BCC to my coworker.  That's just insane.  Hence this approach to let procmail do it for me.

So yes, I am well aware that I need to make a copy of the message to send to my coworker.  THAT's the part I can't figure out.  It needs to happen only when it comes back from GMail, not before.

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.

I'm not sure, but I think he's running all of his incoming mail through Gmail's spam filter and only working with what gets through.
