====Question or Symptom====<br />
Can one set up a filter in the email account/system to forward email<br />
from specific domains to a different email account? I would like to<br />
forward some email from my swcp account to the email account tied to my<br />
cell phone.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Resolution====<br />
You can do this with procmail by filtering on the From line.<br />
<br />
Procmail can be difficult to configure the first time. You can ask the staff to<br />
do it for you or the following are some available resources:<br />
<br />
The two best sources of documentation are:<br />
<br />
man procmail<br />
man procmailrc<br />
man procmailex<br />
<br />
Procmail is driven by a configuration file called .procmailrc in a user's<br />
home directory. The procmailrc man page describes the format of the<br />
.procmailrc file. The procmailex man page has .procmailrc examples.<br />
<br />
There are some interesting links on<br />
<br />
http://www.procmail.org/<br />
<br />
<br />
A .procmailrc usually consists of a few variable definitions followed by<br />
filtering rules.<br />
<br />
Here is a sample .procmailrc:<br />
<br />
----<br />
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin<br />
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail<br />
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.from<br />
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/myloginname<br />
<br />
###<br />
### fax messages<br />
###<br />
:0<br />
* ^From:.*fax@swcp.com<br />
fax<br />
----<br />
<br />
The variables setup a path for looking up programs (PATH), a directory<br />
for relative file references (MAILDIR), the location of a log file<br />
(LOGFILE), and a file where procmail delivers messages that aren't<br />
filtered (DEFAULT).<br />
<br />
This procmailrc delivers any messages with a From header that matches<br />
"fax@swcp.com" to a file in MAILDIR named "fax".<br />
