Re: [cobalt-users] PROCMAIL - help, please!

[Rik Thomas <rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You first must allow the users to have telnet enabled on their account, so
the end of their entry in /etc/password should look like /bash.

Next you must telnet in to your server go to the users directory and call 
procmail from their .forward file if there isn't one make one, then enter
'pico .forward

Put the line in as follows be sure to put the quotes (") in at the
beginning and end as shown below:

"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/bin/procmail -f-!!exit 75 #username"

where username is obviously their username on your system.
next you will need a .procmailrc to route the mail, but their are tons of
how-tos on how to get that going.

I hope this helps.
