For the especially cautious, or for when setting up
procmail and testing it, you may want to keep a copy
of every email that comes through. The first recipe might then be:
:0 c:
.incoming.`date +%Y.%m`/
|
All recipes are introduced with the :0. This can be followed
by flags to control how the recipe works. The c flag above
indicates that the email message is to be processed further by this
specific recipe, but also a copy is to be pushed through to the remainder of
the recipes within the .procmailrc file. The final :
indicates that while procmail is processing the email
message with this recipe, the recipe should be locked (so that no
other procmail can write to the specified file at the same
time).
After introducing the recipe with the :0 line, the next line
in the above example is the action to be performed. In this case a
file name is specified, beginning with a full stop and calling on the
operating system to provide a current year and month string
(e.g. 2006.01).
