[CLUE-Talk] Email Processing Questions

[Grant Johnson]

I created a fake user, set up a procmail to do a forward, then forwarded 
the whole mess from the old user to the new one.  I am trying to remember 
what I did to do the whole thing on autopilot.  Sendmail spun up hundreds 
of processes, but in a few minutes it all settled down.  I will try to 
remember the neat trick I used for the forward.

Oh, I just remembered!!!!!  I used fetchmail to get them from the local 
machine and deliver them right away again.  You should be able to do the 
same, and maybe even send the right to where they needed to go.  I used the 
fake user and all because I knew it would overload the new mailbox, and 
this gave me a chance to easier handle the bounced messages.
