Worked for me like a charm, I’m glad to have found a bash script which dealt directly with unix email capabilities. I’m used to working with Postfix and maildrop, so seeing how you used procmail here was cool.

Is there a way to make this work with Maildir format?

I have tried using your script and get this warning:
procmail: Suspicious rcfile “/fuse1/56/gte339f/procmailrc”
procmail: Couldn’t read “/fuse1/56/gte339f/procmailrc”

here is the modified script. Any help is very much appreciated

VERBOSE=off

PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/local/bin/
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log-forward

#Get the subject
#Discard some dangerous special chars + any leading and trailing blanks
SUBJECT=`formail -xSubject:
| sed -e ’s/[;`]/ /g’
| expand | sed -e ’s/^[ ]*//g’ -e ’s/[ ]*$//g’`
