procmail.3.11pre4 for NeXTSTEP 6 Nov 1996 procmail source code is available at: ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de as pub/packages/procmail/ This is my first attempt at a 4fat compilation. It is untested on all archs besides m68k. Please let me know if it works on other archs. The regular README for procmail is at src/README (excerpts are below). procmail is the premier mailsorting program for UNIX machines. If you want to use this with the Mail.app for NeXTStep, you should get the "mailapp-utilities" package off the archives. It was last seen at: ftp://ftp.eunet.ch/pub/next/Unix/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.README ftp://ftp.eunet.ch/pub/next/Unix/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.NIHS.bs.tar.gz ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.README ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/apps/mail/mailapp-utilities.1.5.NIHS.bs.tar.gz I hope you find this program useful. I hope it works on all those other archs! TjL <luomat@peak.org> FROM THE REAL "README": Procmail can be used: - and installed by an unprivileged user (for himself only). - as a drop in replacement for the local delivery agent /bin/mail (with biff/comsat support). - as a general mailfilter for whole groups of messages (e.g. when called from within sendmail.cf rules). The accompanying formail program enables you to generate autoreplies, split up digests/mailboxes into the original messages, do some very simple header-munging/extraction, or force mail into mail-format (with leading From line). Procmail was designed to deliver the mail under the worst conditions (file system full, out of swap space, process table full, file table full, missing support files, unavailable executables; it all doesn't matter). Should (in the unlikely event) procmail be unable to deliver your mail somewhere, the mail will bounce back to the sender or reenter the mailqueue (your choice).
