Selective mail forwarding
« on: August 24, 2000, 11:47:37 AM »
Hello everybody!
The staff at my work place have very interesting demands...:-(

I got this question today:
Is it possible to arrange an auto-forward of just certain incoming messages?
(i.e. All messages from xxx@myfriend.com or with the phrase "IMPORTANT" included in the subject line would be forwarded to an external account, - while all other messages would arrive into the normal mail box as usual)

I realize that this isn't really a specific E-Smith question, but at least the question applies to an E-Smith box...

Best Regards:

Lasse Johansson

Have a look at procmail - www.procmail.org

It's installed, but you will need to do serious work to provide this
sort of filtering.
