Default how to configure .forward to delete mail w/ the word Microsoft?


Dear HP-UX friends

how can I configure the .forward file in HP-UX 10.20 to delete
all the mails containing a given expression, say, "Microsoft"?
I get >400 mails daily :-( with this word in the subject.

Thank you

You need to set up a filter... something like procmail, for example.
(http://www.procmail.org/)

IIRC procmail could be built from source with the bundled cc on HP-UX,
you just miss all the optimizations that way. But as the usual place
only has binaries for HP-UX 11.x ... (of course, if you have
the "real" HP compiler or GCC ...)
