Re: deferring procmail delivered mail to NFS mounted mailbox

1995-11-09 14:14:01
I'm using procmail-3.10 and I'd like to be able to defer delivery of 
messages that procmail tries to write to a mailbox that exists on an NFS 
mounted filesystem but is temporarily unavailable.  Is there any standard 
way of doing this or would I have to hack the procmail code to accomplish 
this?

Currently, messages destined for such a mailbox are bounced when the NFS 
server is down and $HOME/.mail isn't writeable.

Put it in the /etc/procmailrc file.
Something like:

        :0
        * test ! -d $HOME/.
        {
                EXITCODE=75
                LASTFOLDER=_deferred_
                HOST=_deferred_
        }
-- 
Sincerely,
