CentOS 6, Postfix, and Procmail — how do I get it to work?
My bad…no, you can skip the /etc/procmail recipe portion that calls spamc…you don’t need that.
Comment/remove that bit, and then give it a go. Remember to issue
“service postfix reload” after editing the main.cf file.
CentOS 6, Postfix, And Procmail — How Do I Get It To Work?
What is the trick to get Postfix’s local command to pipe mail through procmail?
I have:
-bash-4.1$ grep allow_mail_to_commands /etc/postfix/main.cf allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward
and
-bash-4.1$ cat .forward
|/usr/bin/procmail
and a .procmailrc file:
-bash-4.1$ cat .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin:/exp/rcf/share/bin MAILDIR=/var/lib/amanda/Mail #you’d better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL #completely optional LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from #recommended
:0
* ^From.*no-reply@sns.amazonaws.com
|$HOME/retrieveArchive.tcl
:0
! heller@deepsoft.com
Basically I want all mail to the Amanda Backup account, except messages from Amazon SNS, to be forwarded to me (the system admin). The retrieveArchive.tcl is a script to process Amazon SNS messages.

It’s this simple:
Instead of putting a call to procmail in your .forward, first, set up
/etc/postfix/main.cf with the following line:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
and reload postfix. Now, postfix will default to using procmail as its local delivery agent.
Now, set up /etc/procmailrc like so:
USER=`whoami`
:0 fw
| spamc
:0 e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}
Now, set up the amanda user’s .procmailrc rules like so:
:0:
* ^From.*no-reply@sns.amazonaws.com
|$HOME/retrieveArchive.tcl
:0:
*
! heller@deepsoft.com
Voila!
Postfix has feature for this sort of thing built in. see http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#auto_bcc

So how would you pass the email through SpamAssassin, if you wanted to?
That could work, but it might be a little bit of overkill. :-)
