I compiled procmail on Solaris with a SYSTEM_MBOX of
/var/mail/$LOGNAME. I'm using procmail with sendmail 8.7.5.
Mail hangs everytime it tries to deliver to a user who has vacation
turned on. Also, a number of users have complained that mailtool
becomes confused quite often.
Is there a nuance that I'm missing?
With regards to mailtool, to quote the FAQ that comes with the source
code (you *did* read all the files that start with capital letters,
right???)...
Yes. However, my original email was incomplete. The config.h file was
also changed such that the NO_fcntl_LOCK, NO_lockf_LOCK, and
NO_flock_LOCK defines are active. The problem as described above still
exists. Anyone have a suggestion other than discontinue use of
procmail? :)
BTW, I'm running procmail-3.10.
[thoughtful inclusion of the FAQ paragraph deleted]
As for vacation, this would be a sendmail issue, as procmail isn't involved
at all when someone has a .forward file (unless it itself calls procmail).
What does the sendmail log show when it tries to deliver to the person
using vacation.
I'll pursue this in a sendmail forum.
