[comp.mail.sendmail] Problem Passing Mail from Sendmail to Filter

peterson@gauss.math.fsu.edu (Eric Peterson) (07/19/90)

I am currently running SunOS 4.0.3, Sendmail 5.61, and Elm 2.3.5.
According to the Elm documentation, I should be able to create a
.forward file with the line:

   "| /usr/local/bin/filter -o /tmp/filter.out"

or something similar and have all of my mail passed through the filter
first.  However, this does not seem to be working.

I have hand-fed saved mail through Filter, and it works like a charm.
But Sendmail apparently does not recognize the pipe command in my
~/.forward file.

How can I get Sendmail to recognize this?

Eric
