I know this isn't strictly a debian related issue, but since I am trying to sort the mail from this list I had hoped someone might be able to help.
I am trying to get procmail set up on an HP workstation (no root access). I have managed to get a .procmailrc file worked out, and I think I am close to getting the .forward worked out. But not quite... First, the example .forward file does not work on my HP machine. Causes a nice mess of my incoming mail (basically I receive none of it) followed by a nice discussion with the sysadmin wanting to know what the devil I am doing..... In any case, playing with vacation on the machine (for examples of the .forward file), I have managed to come up with, \sstanley, "|/home/mustang/grad/sstanley/bin/procmail -f- VERBOSE=on" The first \sstanley just makes sure the mail is copied directly to my inbox before trying to run it through procmail. Otherwise, I think it is trying to run procmail, but I am getting a returned mail message with the error; ----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: procmail not available for sendmail programs 554 "|/home/mustang/grad/sstanley/bin/procmail -f- VERBOSE=on"... Service unavailable Does anyone have any suggestions?? A pointer to some documentation on the format of this type of thing in the .forward file would be great. The sendmail man page mentions .forward, but only briefly, and I can not find any reference to it anywhere else. I am pretty much working blind here.... Scott
