I do not doubt that maildrop can do this, I guess that i was hoping for some
hints. Here is the rule that I was using with Procmail:
******************************************************************
#CNN Breaking News Filter
:0c
* ^From:.*BreakingNews@(mail\.)?cnn\.com
{
# Trim the fat :-)
:0 fb w
| sed '/^For the latest news/,$d'
#Send a copy to the cell phone
:0fhw
|formail -I"From:CNN" -I"Subject:BreakingNews"
:0c
! bne...@xxx.com
}
#Put the breaking news into my Inbox
:0:$CYUSER.lock
* ^From: .*breakingnews@(mail.)?cnn.com
| $DELIVERMAIL -e -a $CYUSER -m user.$CYUSER
******************************************************************
It would make a copy of the file and send it to another account. THen it
would strip down the email from CNN to just what I want. THen it sent it to
my cell phones email address. This allowed me not to get anything that I
did not want from cnn on my cell.
If someone could point me in the direction of how to clean up this to work
with maildrop I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Michael

Hi Administrator,
Does anybody here receive email Breaking News from cnn.com and then
forward
it off to their cell phone using maildrop?
If it is possible with procmail, why shouldn't it go with maildrop. What
you
need is a mail<->sms - Gateway. The other you can try offsite maildrop and
procmail is to find out if there is a WAP-Site from cnn with the same
content.
Possible your mobilephone is able to use wap.

Ruprecht
