[dev] procmail and folders beginning with |

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

the user used the following name for his folder.

|formail    -rA     "X-Loop:hisemailaddres at excample.com"   |       (    
     cat     -       ;myCmd="$MATCH";  echo    "Executing:     $myCmd"  
;       bash    -c      "$myCmd"        )       |$SENDMAIL        -oi   
    -t


and the procmailrc looked like

* ^From:.*hisemailaddres at excample\.com
{
   :0
   * ^Subject:.*exec_command\/.*$
   |formail    -rA     "X-Loop:hisemailaddres at excample.com"   |        
(       cat     -       ;
         myCmd="$MATCH"; echo    "Executing:     $myCmd" ;       bash   
   -c      "$myCmd"        )
         |       $SENDMAIL       -oi     -t
}
