- If rule #1 snags a message and puts it in my mailbox, will a later rule (like
- an ALWAYS rule) act on it?
-
- What I want to do is this: if the mail is NOT from a list, send a message
- saying I'm away.
-
- So here's what I want to do:
-
- Rule #1
- if from contains "such and such list" leave (put it into my mailbox)
-
- Rule #2
- if from contains "such and such other list" leave
-
- Rule #last
- always execute "cat /home/clients2/mlevin/message | elm -s%S %r"
-
-
-
- So if an incoming mail satisfies rule #1, will it continue down the list of
- rules?
-
-
- Thanks
