Situation: I'd like mail that arrives at my other account to be encrypted and then forwarded to this account. I have spent a few hours trying various things and nothing seems to work. I've tried this as my .forward file: "| /myhome/pgp -fea barrus | mail elee9sf@menudo.uh.edu" but all that arrives at elee9sf is a blank message. I've tried "| /myhome/remail.script" where remail.script was a one-liner similar to the above. Nothing. Any suggestions? Note: 1) barrus@tree.egr.uh.edu is a NeXT account. Is NeXTSTEP just too different for this stuff to work? 2) I'm running pgp2.1 on tree.egr, and don't have the old docs anymore. Was the -f option not present? 3) Anybody have a makefile for NeXT so I can upgrade? I compiled 2.1 by hand editing some lines, but the task looks pretty daunting with 2.2. I tried 'make mach' but that didn't get very far. So, if that's impossible, how do I get my elee9sf account to do it? I use mh on menudo, and have tried to barrus@tree.egr.uh.edu | A "/path/pgp -fea barrus | /path/rvcstore +tonext" in my .maildelivery but that doesn't seem to fly either. Any suggestions? /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L. Barrus | | elee9sf@menudo.uh.edu | <- preferred address | barrus@tree.egr.uh.edu (NeXTMail) | \-----------------------------------/

The problem is that when sendmail executes your filter, your environment is all messed up. HOME and USER aren't even initialized. PATH is probably /bin:/usr/bin.

This works when you send mail to yourself because your environment gets passed along to your mail filter. Here's a good wrapper script to use .... #!/bin/sh HOME=YOUR-DIRECTORY PGPPATH=YOUR-PGP-DIRECTORY PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/etc export HOME PATH PGPPATH cd $HOME exec >> $HOME/Inbox/FILTERLOG 2>&1 # this logs error messages so # that you can learn from them FF=/tmp/FILTER.$$ touch $FF chmod 600 $FF (tee $FF; echo '') >> Inbox/everything # this saves your mail in case # it gets dropped on the floor PGP COMMAND GOES HERE rm $FF exit 0 /* Jonathan Stigelman, Stig@netcom.com, PGP public key by finger */ /* fingerprint = 32 DF B9 19 AE 28 D1 7A A3 9D 0B 1A 33 13 4D 7F */
