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=$? } Now, set up the amanda user's .procmailrc rules like so: :0: * ^From.*no-reply at sns.amazonaws.com |$HOME/retrieveArchive.tcl :0: * ! heller at deepsoft.com Voila! -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org "It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
