Hi guys,
Still a few more probs with my mail. Gee changing from Netscape aint
so easy. I have the following procmail recipe:
# SLUG Newsgroup
# --------------
:0:
* ^TOslug
In.SLUG
:0:
* ^Subject:.*SLUG
In.SLUG
# a few more recipes here etc...
# Everything else goes straight to INBOX as normal.
:0 # pass along all other mail
! -oi -f "$@"
and a .forward file that reads
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
Mail to SLUG is gettting through to my Mutt slug and other mail that
I have a proc recipe for such as debial-alpha list but other mail
such as normal mail to my Inbox ie mail I dont have a proc recipe for is
just disappearing. It should be being caught by the last recipe in
the procmail recipe.
Also I gather that fetchmail would normally deposit all mail into
/var/spool/mail/mikel if there was no procmail?
and that when I run /usr/sbin/sendmail -q I gather that that not only sends
all outbound messages in /var/spool/mqueue but that it also is responsible for
the 'execution' of the .forward that starts the filter into procmail ie if I
dont run sendmail -q then all mail should stay in /var/spool/mail/mikel ?
Wondering because in all this I have not yet been able to catch my mail going
into mikel spool/mail/mailbox. procmail gets hold of it very quick.
