Need conditional forward

[futurego]

I'd like to forward email that meets a certain criteria. I have a script that can select the messages I want to be forwarded to my cell phone but I also want ALL messages delivered to my regular mail box.

I'd like something like:

condforward foo@bar.com /big/dom/xwho/myscript

But alas, condforward does not exist. Conredirect does not keep local copies.

Surely someone has a simple solution??

But alas, condforward does not exist. Conredirect does not keep local copies. Assuming that your current setup involves one POP box with the filter running on that account, I might split it up something like this:

Delete:
Current POP box = fred@example.com

Create:
New POP box = all.fred@example.com
New blackhole = cell.fred@example.com
New alias stack = fred@example.com; points to all.fred & cell.fred

Apply your condredirect foo@bar.com /big/dom/xwho/myscript filter to cell.fred.

Now, the fred alias (your public email address) will pass all mail to the local all.fred POP box (satisfies condition #2) as well as to the cell.fred blackhole, which is acting as a filter platform. The filter will redirect mail that meets your criteria to the cellphone (satisfies condition #1) and condemn the rest to eternal torment in the bit bucket.

I could be misunderstanding something important here, since I don't work with condredirect myself. But if this doesn't solve your problem, it may at least give you other ideas.

futurego, did this solution work out for you? I'm thinking of doing something similar and wanted to see if you did anything beyond what Randall suggested.
