9188.0. "Examples of usage of rcvdist with .maildelivery/slocal" by SMURF::FENSTER (Yaacov Fenster - System Engineering, Troubleshooting and other m) Fri Mar 14 1997 10:56

    I am looking for an example of usage of rcvdist. rcvdist is used inside
    of a .maildelivery file in order to specify to whom to re-distribute
    selected mail using the slocal mechanism.
    The problem that I am trying to solve:
    Take my incoming mail, put some of it into files, and some of it should
    be re-distributed to a list of people.
    
    Any examples ?
    
    	Thanx

9188.1Here's how I use it:QUARRY::reevesJon Reeves, UNIX compiler groupFri Mar 14 1997 15:2113
Sender   listname-request     |   R   "/usr/lib/mh/rcvdist otherguy"
Sender   listname-request     >   ?   mail/listname

Explanation: I'm on mailing list "listname" whose mail all comes from sender
listname-request.  These two lines send a copy of that mail to "otherguy"
and then file it off in my mailbox mail/listname.

I'm actually on about 6 such mailing lists, each with the same rules
(some use Resent-Sender).

There's an unfortunate side effect that I haven't fixed up yet -- a copy of
the mail also goes in ~/Mail/outbox/n and I have to clean this out
periodically.
9188.2Preserving sender address when re-distributing to an OpenVMS systemSMURF::FENSTERYaacov Fenster - System Engineering, Troubleshooting and other mTue Mar 18 1997 10:305
    One more question. When the rdvdist sends mail to an OpenVMS system, it
    has my "re-distribution" address in the FROM: field. Any ideas on how
    to preserve it ? To other systems it works great.

	Are you using DECnet mail to get to the VMS system?  If so, try
	using SMTP (ie. UCX on the VMS system)...
9188.4Using SMTPSMURF::FENSTERYaacov Fenster - System Engineering, Troubleshooting and other mTue Mar 18 1997 11:503
    I am using [email protected] if that is what you meant.

    Another question:
    
    As I go down the list of patterns, a message is either marked delivered
    or not. Is there any way to specify "All messages not yet delivered do
    something BUT don't mark them as delivered"
