Hi folks, Perhaps this is of help to someone: I was futzing with procmail to sort the incoming mail, redirect something and so on. But even when a few weeks back this appeared to work, it did not anymore (changed a few things in .procmailrc and thought that was the wrong thing).
Less is true! 1. I changed providers. The old one let me pull mail through SMTP/postfix/mailkicks, the new one does not. 2. I do not use fetchmail but getmail. And getmail puts files directly in the mbox where you tell it. Mail does not run through postfix, so not through procmail. Duh... What I do now (which works): Use getmail to put mail in $HOME/mail/paul Run formail to disect incoming mail and push it through procmail: formail < $HOME/mail/paul -s procmail -m $HOME/.procmailrc Which works fine. Then, as a safety catch, I make backup copies of the last 2 pulled mail-loads. That's all. It took me a while before I noticed that I had to use formail. Told you I was dumb ;) Paul -- If you are sure you understand everything that is going on, you are hopelessly confused. -Walter Mondale http://nlpagan.net - Registered Linux User 174403 Linux Mandrake 8.0 - Sylpheed 0.6.3 claws Open Source, Open Minds.
