I confess that I didn't look that hard at your log output; but
I did skim it briefly, and I didn't see why. However, if your
mail is arriving on a separate server to that under which your shell
account is running, that could be one explanation. That is how
things operate at the shell provider I use as my main account
and under which I run procmail. Can you rule that out categorically
as a possibility?
Yes. I use a server behind my company's firewall as both my
IMAP server and NFS file server. My home directory is on a local
disk of this server. [. . .]
Okay. Meanwhile, I looked harder at the original post of yours, at
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2003-04/msg00372.html
I still don't see an easy answer. But here's another question:
Are you running stuff through SpamAssassin (or spamc/spamd) or some
other filter after your traffic-report test but before the mail
otherwise gets saved to disk?
I ask this because I have demonstrated in the past that SpamAssassin
rewrites whitespace, including tabs -- at least in the headers.
I didn't check this behavior in message bodies, but I believe it
can do so there, too.
Something that rewrites whitespace/tabs could affect your
recipes, which look for single spaces but not instances of one-or-
more or for tabs. That could explain why you get a different result
in production during streamed input and another once the stream
has been shunted to stdout and a file.
Other than that theory, I'm out of ideas for you at this time. Maybe
others have some more ideas. I will say, though, that I subscribed
last night to the 8 a.m. traffic report, but it never arrived today,
unfortunately. Hmm. It should have come in nearly two hours ago.
Meanwhile, if you send me a sample copy, I'll play with it.
