Hi everyone,
I recently got the newest version of procmail and compiled it.
Now the way email works here at Syracuse is that there is a remote server
called mailbox.syr.edu which handles all the mail. We can't login to
it. When I type inc, the information is copied from mailbox to my
account and I have it as a mail file in my inbox that I can show, refile,
etc. Unix here doesn't recognize a .forward file.
In the procmail man pages it says to use a script and execute it
whenever I want to incorporate new mail. So I made a test recipe called
rc.testing according to the Filtering Mail FAQ. I then sent two messages
to myself, one with the word 'test' in the subject and one without.
Procmail was supposed to delete the message with 'test' in it. I waited
a while, then typed 'ink'. Ink is my alias for 'inc' and the name of the
script file. I received both messages, I shouldn't have received the one
that had 'test' in the subject.
I don't know anything about this stuff, can someone help me?
Phil
