Procmail question

Hi,

I have a procmail receipe that should execute two shell scripts, it worked until I changed it so that it would pass the incoming subject to one of the scripts, now I can see it assiging the variable but it skips the scripts - Anyone any clues because I'm a total newbie:

[andrewtaylor@fedora Procmail]$ vi rc.perl_extract

:0:
* ^Subject:.*fax2email
{

SUBJ=`formail -zxSubject:`
| /home/andrewtaylor/Perl/extract_attachment.pl | /home/andrewtaylor/PHP/addtodb.php $SUBJ
}

Thanks

ANdrew

I believe that you can only run one command per recipe (in this case, the formail)... What happens if you try:

Quote:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*fax2email
{

| /home/andrewtaylor/Perl/extract_attachment.pl | /home/andrewtaylor/PHP/addtodb.php `formail -zxSubject:`

}
Basically.. combine it all into one line.

Disclaimer: I am pretty much a total procmail newbie myself.. so this may not work.. just thought it's worth a shot
