Procmail > Outgoing?
Authored by: el bid on Apr 22, '02 04:05:51PM

I believe it's not canonically correct to mess with an email once it's been passed on from the MUA (Mail User Agent), except possibly for some address munging in sendmail.

But it is possible. I did it for years on my NeXT machine. You need an MUA that sends via a local MTA (Mail Transport Agent) like sendmail, and you divert it instead to procmail, so you get MUA --> Procmail --> Sendmail.

I'm not sure that Mail.app allows this. I think it contains its own MTA (never a very good idea)

Thx for the info - actually I use Eudora for OS X which strangely enough formats its mailboxes in standard UNIX format - thats what got me to thinking about it. I will do some probing and see what I come up with.
