As it would be "dangerous" to make a broad request and potentially fill up my 
inbox with helpful replies, I direct this to a few specific individuals:  

James Sparenberg, Bryan Phinney, and Jack Coates.  I request that the three of 
you send me a simple reply to this list posting, directed to my email address 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and not the list.  

I have tried sending myself a few emails (from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  I SEE the messages transmit in gkrellm and in my 
syslog.  All goes well but on that score but I never ever see them come back 
to me when fetchmail downloads from yahoo.com.  I am wondering if there is a 
problem with my procmail setup, or postfix.  I have also, on a few ocassions, 
seen a message arrive in my syslog (tail -f /var/log/syslog), see that it has 
been passed to procmail which then passes it to spamd.  I see that 
spamassassin assigns it a number lower than my required setting for it to be 
identified as spam which means it should make it to my 
/var/spool/mail/praedor mailbox.  It doesn't.  It vanishes into the ether.  

I had two entries in /etc/procmailrc.  The first was a list of emails/list 
addresses that were not to be passed to spamd.  Any addresses not matching 
the list were passed to spamd for processing.  This seemed to work, and it 
certainly does on my laptop, but it doesn't on my desktop (vanishing messages 
that are not spam being lost, perhaps dumped into /dev/null).  I have since 
eliminated the specific procmailrc entry that would move mails identified as 
spam to /dev/null but the problem remains.  My own email address (yahoo.com) 
is not in the do-not-process-through-spamd list so it should come in, go 
through spamd, not get tagged as spam, and end up in my local inbox.  No joy.  
It fails to behave this way.  I ask the above individuals (even just one of 
you would be fine) to send a reply to me directly at my yahoo address and let 
me know you have done so in the expert list so I will know.  Hopefully it 
will arrive in my inbox as it should.

I would appreciate the help,

praedor
