There is a problem with both procmail delivered with Slack, dowloading
a new copy, recompile and install semms to solve 85% of the problems,
also this is happening when a dial-up user loose conexion in the middle
of a mail transfer, the following script (that came with pop3 daemon
source) launched by cron once at 15 min. will "expire" the poor file.
Of course since then I moved for the new machines to IDS pop3 daemon(
see freshmeat.net) that don't exhibit such problems, but procmail issue
still have to be fixed.
BTW. how do I install the dammed FP extensions to be used with BOTH
FP98 and FP2000 on a stock Apache 1.3.6 server, I'm process of losing
hair and a friend babbling trough M$ and friends install scripts that
semms to not be updated for 1.3.6.
HTH and any help appreciated.
