have a problem here in redhat 7.3 procmail,
It'd be loads better to indicate the version of procmail, rather than your
OS distribution version. I assure you that the average contributor here
doesn't follow which version of procmail is distributed with any given
version of a distribution (or for that matter, necessarily knows what the
current release of any given distro is, much less the version that would be
packaged with an outdated one). Of all the distros, RedHat is perhaps the
most puzzling, since they've had a track record of including betas in some
distros.
my filtering doesnt work. heres
my config:
.forward
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mikecarel"
Have you confirmed the binary path as valid?
There are other, perhaps somewhat more desireable .forward invocations you
can use. One fairly bulletproof one is on the page linked in my .sig.
.procmailrc
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=/home/mikecarel/mail
:0:
* ^Subject:.test
test
that regexp dot means 'exactly one of anything'. So, unless your subject
has just one tab or space after the colon, this isn't necessarily going to
match. For people looking for "test" at the beginning of a subject, the
expression is usually:
:0:
* ^Subject:[ ]*test
test
Where the brackets contain a space and a tab. This better handles
variations in MUAs and the typing of individual users.
Can anyone help?
Enable a logfile and VERBOSE logging (which, for some reason, I see you
EXPLICITLY disable)? Read the VERBOSE logfile?
If that fails to provide clues, try following the link in my sig and
download "procdiag", read the script source, and then execute it and
examine the output. The most common newbie mistakes are issues with file
permissions.
