Dear Amit,
To start a new topic of discussion (commonly called a `thread'),
compose a new message. Hit the "Write new message" button (or whatever
button your client uses). Type in the address of the mailing list as
the To address. This is the only way to actually start a new thread.
Always start a new thread instead of taking an already ongoing one,
changing the subject line and posting it again. The subject line is
only loosely related to the threading. Every mail message has a
message-id. When you "reply" or "followup" to a message, you client is
supposed to put a References header with the message-id of the message
you are replying to.
If you use an existing thread, the result is that your question is
buried below unrelated questions when looking at the mailing list in a
threaded way. This is known as `Hijacking threads'. It causes
information to be lost and you'll be less likely to get an answer.
I have started a new thread for you, please use that for further discussion.
hi , i have a problem filtering my mail .
This is my procmailrc file below:
VERBOSE=no
# LOGABSTRACT=all
# Replace $HOME/mail with whatever it is your mail directory is
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail -----# I am confused here
#all my mails that come from fetchmail are stored into /var/spool/mail
and i have 0 #mails here , so how is procmail going to filter from the
Mail directory in my $HOME
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
# Directory for storing procmail items
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail # Create this directory on your system for recipe files
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/test.rc
this is my test.rc file:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*testing
$MAILDIR/testing #I tried sending a test mail to my self with subject
"test" and nothing works.
This is the command i execute from the bash prompt
user>$ fetchmail -akv -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
?? Once i retrieve my mail from my pop server it stores it to
/var/spool/mail/user.
From there i want procmail to filter out a mail with "test" in the
subject line and transfer it to /home/user/Mail/testing ... (But i
dont know why prcomail doesnt filter it)
Am i doing something wrong .
amit
