Hi.
Since some time, I noticed that procmail prints "Attempt to fake stamp by
<username>" to syslog for each and every mail.
This is because of the postfix setup. There's this line in
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME
I asked on the procmail mailing list, and got an answer by Philip Guenther,
telling me to change the line like so:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN
The message "Attempt to fake stamp by" is somehow caused by the -d parameter to
procmail. However, -d is not necessary, as the mailbox_command already runs
under the recipients UID. It even says so in the /etc/postfix/main.cf:
# The mailbox_command parameter specifies the optional external
# command to use instead of mailbox delivery. The command is run as
# the recipient with proper HOME, SHELL and LOGNAME environment settings.
# Exception: delivery for root is done as $default_user.
So, -d isn't necessary. I'm not so sure about why he dumped -o and added -Y
though.
But at least the "-d" should definitely be dropped.
Thanks,
Alexander Skwar
