Hi All

I had wanted to install some spam tools that use procmail - .procmailrc

ASK
http://www.paganini.net/ask/
/home/user/.ask

SpamBouncer
http://www.spambouncer.com/
/home/user/sb

However, I just learned that my default Exim installation can't use .procmailrc to forward email to these scripts

How does Exim forward stuff? What else should I try?

I've tried .forward, .qmail, .procmailrc - but nothing seems to forward anything.

Thanks

------------------------------------------

Are you doing this through some kind of admin system?

Sometimes, (on systems such as CPanel and Plesk), you can just "forward" the email to a script.

i.e;

someona@domain.com ... forwards to: /path/to/script.pl

... and then it would read <STDIN> to grab the email.

Hope that helps :)

Cheers

Hi.

If on cPanel server, it would be best to edit the Exim config from WHM so as to avoid resetting of changes upon upgrades. Acyually, as a personal experience, rejecting at SMTP level, all FAKE HELO would reduce the spam by about 50%. Could give the following thread a controlled try
