RE: [vps-mail] procmailrc and includerc question

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Scott. Now the million dollar question...

Any idea whether I can put the formail command in the INCLUDERC file? In
other words, so the include file looks like this:

--------------
:0:
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*A better option than bankruptcy
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*all computer uses need this
...other rules....

#Tag header with spam notice
{
    :0 hfi
    |formail -I "X-Spam-Reason: Spam in email subject"
} 
--------------


Currently that include file looks like this:
--------------
:0:
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.\.
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*A better option than bankruptcy
* 1^0 ^Subject: .*all computer uses need this
...other rules....
$HOME/spam
----------------

Thanks,

Jim Smith
