HELP: pgp, .forward, mh

Situation: I'd like mail that arrives at my other account to be
encrypted and then forwarded to this account.  I have spent a few
hours trying various things and nothing seems to work.

I've tried this as my .forward file:

"| /myhome/pgp -fea barrus | mail elee9sf@menudo.uh.edu"

but all that arrives at elee9sf is a blank message.

I've tried

"| /myhome/remail.script"

where remail.script was a one-liner similar to the above.  Nothing.

Any suggestions?  Note:
1) barrus@tree.egr.uh.edu is a NeXT account.  Is NeXTSTEP just too
different for this stuff to work?
2) I'm running pgp2.1 on tree.egr, and don't have the old docs
anymore.  Was the -f option not present?
3) Anybody have a makefile for NeXT so I can upgrade?  I compiled 2.1
by hand editing some lines, but the task looks pretty daunting with
2.2.  I tried 'make mach' but that didn't get very far.


So, if that's impossible, how do I get my elee9sf account to do it?  I
use mh on menudo, and have tried

to barrus@tree.egr.uh.edu | A "/path/pgp -fea barrus | /path/rvcstore +tonext"

in my .maildelivery but that doesn't seem to fly either.  

Any suggestions?

The problem is that when sendmail executes your filter, your
environment is all messed up.  HOME and USER aren't even initialized.
PATH is probably /bin:/usr/bin.

This works when you send mail to yourself because your environment
gets passed along to your mail filter.


Here's a good wrapper script to use ....


#!/bin/sh

HOME=YOUR-DIRECTORY
PGPPATH=YOUR-PGP-DIRECTORY
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/etc

export HOME PATH PGPPATH

cd $HOME

exec >> $HOME/Inbox/FILTERLOG 2>&1	# this logs error messages so
					# that you can learn from them

FF=/tmp/FILTER.$$
touch $FF
chmod 600 $FF

(tee $FF; echo '') >> Inbox/everything	# this saves your mail in case
					# it gets dropped on the floor

PGP COMMAND GOES HERE

rm $FF

exit 0
