Meeting October 12th - E-MAIL tricks: Coding with PROCMAIL

[listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If you run a mail server (such as sendmail), there may be a number of 
functions that you want to provide. Ever wonder how those mailing list 
servers were built, or have you ever wanted to provide something like 
that yourself? If so, then the answer may well be PROCMAIL (for 
PROCcess MAIL). PROCMAIL provides an environment where mail messages 
can be filtered, and actions taken, all without further intervention. 
Many applications have been written with PROCMAIL, such as mailing list 
servers, autoresponders, information servers, and scripts that return 
recipts for messages on request. We'll go through some examples, and show 
how your own software can be included in PROCMAIL software.


Robert Brown is a founding member and current chairman of KLUG, and has
over 20 years experience in software development in numerous environments,
disciplines, and industries. An intermittant user of UNIX systems for close
to 10 years, Bob has developed software for the distributed processing and
client-server models, and now has his first experience in building and
administering his own network. When he's not bouncing between network nodes,
or client, he can be seen cycling on the Kal-Haven trail, hiking the
countryside in search of nature photographs, or helping to organize
volunteer activities around computing, for KLUG and the ACM (Association for
Computing Machinery).
