procmail match and forward

[RottPaws]

I have a procmail recipe that looks for a particular X-header and when it finds it, it extracts the email address behind it and forwards the email to that address.

[b]procmail recipe[/b]
    :0c BH
      * ^X-Sender: \/[^ ]+
      ! $MATCH

This works fine as long as the only thing behind the X-header is a straight email address.

[b]X-header[/b]
X-Sender: user.name@domain.com

[b]procmail log[/b]
procmail: Assigning "MATCH="
procmail: Matched "user.name@domain.com"
procmail: Match on "^X-Sender: \/[^ ]+"
procmail: Executing "/usr/sbin/sendmail,-oi,user.name@domain.com"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi user.name@domain.com"

But if there is a real name involved, it doesn't handle it right.

[b]X-header[/b]
X-Sender: "Real Name" <user.name@domain.com>

[b]procmail log[/b]
procmail: Assigning "MATCH="
procmail: Matched ""Real"
procmail: Match on "^X-Sender: \/[^ ]+"
procmail: Executing "/usr/sbin/sendmail,-oi,"Real"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi "Real"

[i]Results in an unknown user error[/i]
(reason: 550 5.1.1 <Real@myserver.domain.com>... User unknown)
    (expanded from: "Real)

I tried changing the RegEx and it did actually send it to the X-Sender email , but it didn't exactly fix the problem.

[b]X-header[/b]
X-Sender: "Real Name" <user.name@domain.com>

[b]procmail log[/b]
procmail: Assigning "MATCH="
procmail: Matched "[COLOR=red yellow]"Real Name" <user.name@domain.com>[/color]"
procmail: Match on "^X-Sender: \/[COLOR=red yellow].+[/color]"
procmail: Executing "/usr/sbin/sendmail,-oi,"Real[COLOR=red yellow],[/color]Name"[COLOR=red yellow],[/color]<user.name@domain.com>"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi "Real Name" <user.name@domain.com>"

[i]Results in an unknown user errors[/i]
(reason: 550 5.1.1 <Real@myserver.domain.com>... User unknown)
    (expanded from: "Real)

(reason: 550 5.1.1 <Name@myserver.domain.com>... User unknown)
    (expanded from: Name)

So......my question: Is there a way to get procmail to match the full email address and use it in a sendmail execution without replacing the spaces with commas?

...It's not a bug. It's an undocumented feature!!!

I had the same problem with my vacation recipe and I'm using this

FGREP=/bin/fgrep
TO=`formail -x To:`
FIRST=`echo "$TO" |sed -n '1p'| awk -F"<" '{print $2}'`
FIRSTX=`echo "$FIRST" | awk -F"@" '{print $1}'`

There probably is a more elegant way to do it but it's working for me

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
