I'm tearing my hair over this stupid problem!
On my workstation (RH 9) I use nmh and slocal works just fine.
This is the .forward file
"|/usr/local/nmh1/lib/slocal -user wilson"
The .maildelivery file is large and has given no problems.
On my new Emperorlinux Thinkpad T42 running Fedora Core 4,
I have exactly the same setup. BUT, both good mail and spam
simply disappear! If I remove the .forward file, all mail
is delivered to my mailbox (/var/spool/mail/wilson) normally.
If .forward is present, mail that I know is at the ISP (e.g., I've sent
to myself) is lost: I do fetchmail, then inc (just as on the workstation),
but nothing is inc'd. If the mail is spam, nothing appears in $HOME/.spam
Stewart,
Try running slocal through strace:
echo testing | strace /usr/lib/nmh/slocal -user wilson
See if anything is obviously wrong.
You may also want to try installing the nmh rpm from Fedora Extras to see
if that works as expected.
