Hi all,
I would like some help regarding procmail, and finishing my installation.
I have installed "procmail-3.10.tar.gz" all went fine according to the
make script. When I enter
|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/binLinux/procmail -f- || exit 75
#YOUR_LOGIN_NAME
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
into my ".forward" file I seem to loose mt mail.
If this is accurate, then you need to change #YOUR_LOGIN_NAME to #davidp
Hi Wotan!
Well I'll be. The problem was not with my ".forward" but with my
".procmailrc".
1. I was looking in the wrong place for my mail thanks to my MUA
pointing to "$HOME/mail" and not "$HOME/Mail", or my fault for not
pointing ".procmailrc" at "$HOME/mail" instead of "$HOME/Mail"
2. It does help also if you recipies WORK, or at least fail gracefully,
having one like;
:0:
^To: blah blah blah
folder.name
will make ALL mail land in "^To: blah blah blah". Ho hum *:-}
Thanks to those who replied anyway. :-)
