And, by the way, filter looks through the message to get the
sender address.  You pass it the recipient's address on the
command line because that is often different from anything
found in the mail message (because of redirection, blank copies,
...).

i see.  i wanted to avoid messages in /tmp and 822 parsing.

i shall have to think about it.  perhaps i should write a tool
(i already have the code) to pick the headers apart, although
i'm loathed to do it.

upas/fs looks interesting.  thanks.

upas/fs is just a tool to pick the headers apart.  I started thinking of doing
a special header tool also and then realized that I'ld already written it.

my case is a bit special is that i receive very little mail at sdgm.net
which _isn't_ spam.  i don't like the idea of filters, like spamassassin.

oh cool:  beavis and butthead.

If you run upas/fs over the mail message in your pipetp, you can get at any of the fields.
For example:

#!/bin/rc

# create a /tmp for here documents
rfork en
bind -c /mail/tmp /tmp

RECIP=$1
MBOX=$2
PF=/mail/box/$USER/_pattern
TMP=/mail/tmp/mine.$pid
BIN=/bin/upas
D=/mail/fs/mbox/1

# save and parse the mail file
{sed '/^$/,$ s/^From / From /'; echo} > $TMP
upas/fs -f $TMP

# accept anything sent to license-discuss
if( grep -si license-discuss@opensource.org $D/to || grep -si license-discuss@opensource.org $D/cc || grep -si license-discuss@opensource.org $D/from )
{
	$BIN/deliver $RECIP $D/from $MBOX < $D/raw
	rv=$status
	rm $TMP
	exit $rv
}

# throw out anything from boyd at his non insultant address
if( grep -si 'boyd@(.*\.)?sdgm.net' $D/from )
{
	$BIN/deliver $RECIP $D/from $MBOX.bounced < $D/raw
	rv=$status
	rm $TMP
	exit $rv
}

# dump it if the sender is spoofing me
if( grep -si '^x-warning: suspect .* domain$' $D/rawheader && grep $USER $D/from)
{
	$BIN/deliver $RECIP $D/from $MBOX.bounced < $D/raw
	rv=$status
	rm $TMP
	exit $rv
}

table.
