Hi,
Im having trouble figuring out a basic error. Why isnt the following
recipe working? Also, i dont understand why in many examples the
recipes have :0 instead of :# where # is some number. My formula
below works if i place it in a sh script file and pipe a email text
message into the script. I have the following in my .procmailrc :
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/depot/misc/bin:/usr/lib/
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail #you'd better make sure it exists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log #recommended
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
FORMAIL=/depot/misc/bin/formail

-i "From: bumble(_at_)cse(_dot_)psu(_dot_)edu" \
-i "Subject:automated response test"; \
cat $HOME/Mail/reply; \
echo " "; \
cat $HOME/.signature) | $SENDMAIL -t
In my log file i get the following error:
procmail: Error while writing to " ($FORMAIL -rk -p "> " -I
"X-Replier: Automated response" \
-i "From: bumble(_at_)cse(_dot_)psu(_dot_)edu" \
