Perhaps someone knows if this is a bug that has been fixed in newer
procmail (I have 2.92pre4) or something wrong here at my host.
I run procmail from my personal directory (not superuser). To make a
long story short, when the .procmailrc has done its thing, and the
remaining mail goes into the default mailbox, which is
/var/spool/mail/ , the mailbox is chgrp'd to *my* GID (user) instead
of "mail". The perms on those spools are 664, so anyone in
my group could read or write to my mailbox. I took the .forward out,
and sent myself mail. The GID/perms are now OK again since it is the
system not procmail, that is delivering the mail. When procmail
delivers, the GID goes back to 'public'.
Is there a way around this? Is this fixed in later versions?
