Hi All,
While playing around at hoem trying to undserstand the mechanics of
the mail delivery works on Debian I found that I dont need a
.forward. It was "|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
If I dont have this file exim still forwards the mail to my procmail
filters. So should I have had the .forward at all? or will it not
affect mail because it gets passed to procmail via .forward instead
of directly by exim so it makes no difference?
I notice that /etc/exim.conf has this:
# This transport is used for procmail
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
check_string = "From "
escape_string = ">From "
user = $local_part
group = mail
I gather thats how the mail gets delivered to procmail when I dont have
a .forward?
