Hiyas...
Well.. I'm a newbie to procmail and have almst got it set up. It delivers
test mail to one of my mailboes fine according to this recepie
--- 8< ---
:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
IN.testing
--- 8< ---
this .procmailrc file:
--- 8< ---
# Set on when debugging
VERBOSE=on
# Replace `mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm uses Mail)
MAILDIR=/home/cat/Mail
# Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
PMDIR=/home/cat/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
# INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists
--- 8< ---
this .forward file:
--- 8< ---
"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #cat"
--- 8< ---
and finally, this os: Linux zipper 1.2.3 #5 Thu Nov 2 11:47:09 EST 1995 i586
This is my logfile when there is a match on the recepie (1 testing email):
--- 8< ---
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/cat/.procmail/rc.testing"
procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*test"
procmail: Locking "IN.testing.lock"

I have no idea with what flags it was compiled with as it was installed by
the sysadmins here. This is a listing of the binaries:
25 -rwxr----- 1 root root 29700 Jun 14 1995 formail
10 -rwxr----- 1 root root 13316 Jun 14 1995 lockfile
6 -rwxr----- 1 root root 5390 Jun 14 1995 mailstat
51 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54276 Jun 14 1995 procmail
I hope I didn't missout on something in the manpages or the email filter FAQ
so could someone please help? The sysadmins are pretty cool here so if it
requires that they do something, include that too. 8)
Thanks...
