Install the procmail-lib package. Has many good examples. I use this for my pgp reply script: :0 * ^Subject:.*pgpkey * ! ^FROM_DAEMON * $ ! ^X-Loop: $MY_ADDR { # Save a copy just in case :0 c: pgp.requests :0 fhw | formail -rI"Subject: PGP Key Request: Michael Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" \ -I"From: Michael Beattie <$MY_ADDR>" \ -I"Precedence: junk" \ -I"X-Loop: $MY_ADDR" \ -I"Mime-Version: 1.0" \ -I"Content-Type: application/pgp; format=keys-only" \ -I"Content-Description: PGP Key: Michael Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" \ -I"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" :0 fbw | cat - ; sh -c "pgp -kxaf $MY_ADDR 2>/dev/null" :0 efbw | cat - ; echo "Sorry, my PGP key is not available at the moment." :0 w * > 1 ! -oi -t } HTH, Michael Beattie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) PGP Key available, reply with "pgpkey" as subject. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Game over, man!
