easy procmail recipe help

am 20.05.2005 22:33:28 von franklin28

OK. I have a recipe which forwards mail to my cell phone.

Currently it lookslike this:

:0
* $RECIP ?? ^^$CELL@$DOMAIN
{
:0c
franklin

:0
!2128675309@cingularme.com
}

I would like the alias to continue sending placing unadulterated mail
in the "franklin" file, but would, however, like to strip all message
text after the words "END HERE" before it gets forwarded to the cell
phone address below. (using, say, a perl script such as perl -e
'$x=join ('',<>); $x =~ s/END HERE.*//s; print $x;')

I've looked at the Prcomail FAQs but can't figure this out.

Any help on this one?

(I hope that was a munged address. Spambots search the
Usenet for email addresses 24-7.)

No need for a monstrosity like perl.

The procmail manpages are excellent. And you'll
probably find this page helpful too:

My newsprogram's scorefile broke down. Usually I have the word
"Beavis" set for skipping postings.

Do you have any idea how boring and silly your endless personal
antics and parrying are?

All the best, Timo

Yes, since you ask and obviously enjoy the getting personal. By logic
equal or more than I value yours. Else you would not have commented
at all.

All the best, Timo

Well, he may think that, but he hasn't actually *said* so, and given
what he *did* write, it's highly unlikely that he thought what you think
he thought. So perhaps you should comment on what is actually written?

I'm sorry, but for bookmark material you'd have to do better, or did
you mean a bookmark to one of *your* lows?

From your response to Timo:

You don't say! Don't you think it's blatently obvious that you put no
effort in your 'Beavis' postings? If you did, they might be funny, to
the point, .

I think you misspelled "my".

Yes, he did. Read it again. This time, wearing your glasses.

I did.

Of course -- it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

And your sense of humor is, no doubt, very finely tuned. Just look at how
uproariously funny your own messages are.

No, this is called a â=9Cgeneral statementâ=9D, in third-person fo=
rm. Go to

Actually, Beavis substituted foo.invalid for what was probably a
legit domain when he followed up. Your mistake this time.

You are attempting to engage in a battle of wits with an unloaded weapon.

Excellent. Works perfectly. Thanks very much.

Oh and "2128675309@cingularme.com" would be the e-mail address of
Jenny's Cingular cell phone. If she had one ...
