Online Help » Ensim (.procmailrc)

First, modify bounce.cgi and signup-list1.cgi to contain your ListMailPRO URL. Then, upload them to your /cgi-bin directory and CHMOD (set permissions) them to 755.

** Ensim Note: You must modify the following line in each CGI script:

bounce.cgi

$http_program = "/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null " . $listmail_url . "/bounce.php";

to

$http_program = "/usr/bin/curl " . $listmail_url . "/bounce.php";

signup-listX.cgi

$http_program = "/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null " . $listmail_url . "/signup.php";

to

$http_program = "/usr/bin/curl " . $listmail_url . "/signup.php";

Next, upload the CGI scripts to your cgi-bin directory and CHMOD (set permissions) to 755.

Your server should support procmail. We need to put a file called .procmailrc in your HOME directory.

Create the following file with a text-editor such as Notepad:

procmailrc.txt

:0
* ^TO_bounce@example.com
| /path/to/your/cgi-bin/bounce.cgi

:0
* ^TO_signup@example.com
| /path/to/your/cgi-bin/signup-list1.cgi

Replace bounce@example.com with your bounce address.
Replace signup@example.com with the signup address of your choice.
Replace /path/to/your/cgi-bin with the full server path to your cgi-bin.

If you have created additional signup scripts, you can add those too. Copy the 3 line format above for as many addresses as you want and files as you have set up.

Save the file as procmailrc.txt, or similar, in a folder that will be easy to access with your FTP program.

Upload the file into your home directory (not your mainwebsite_html directory, the one up from that) and rename the new remote file to .procmailrc

Note: The reason for renaming these files once they've been uploaded is because on a Windows platform you can't have a file with a period as the first letter of the filename, ie: .procmailrc, or otherwise. It is recommended that you rename the file once you have uploaded it with FTP.
