I just built procmail-3.10 on my Sun 4.1.4, it compiled and installed
(non-root install) without any problem. Then I setup my .forward file
to be:
"|IFS=' '&&exec /home/chad/plew/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #plew"
my .procmailrc file has:
#---------------- procmailrc begin----------------
LOGFILE=/home/chad/plew/Mail/procmail.log
SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=on
## Convert messages sent by Sun's mailtool to MIME.
:0 fhbw
* ^Content-Type: X-Sun-attachment
| bogomime
#----------------- procmailrc end-----------------
Then I tried to send myself a test mail with the following command:
$ echo "nothing really" | mail -s "test #4" plew
The procmail.log file contains the following:
procmail: [8452] Sat Feb 22 23:22:29 1997
procmail: No match on "^Content-Type: X-Sun-attachment"
procmail: Locking "/usr/spool/mail/plew.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/spool/mail/plew"
procmail: Opening "/usr/spool/mail/plew"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: [8452] Sat Feb 22 23:22:30 1997
procmail: Unlocking "/usr/spool/mail/plew.lock"
From plew Sat Feb 22 23:22:29 1997
Subject: test #4
Folder: /usr/spool/mail/plew 352
procmail: Notified comsat: "plew(_at_)5285:/usr/spool/mail/plew"
However, the mail is not stored in /usr/spool/mail/plew. It is simply
vanished. Any idea how can I track this down?
$ df /usr/spool/mail
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
mailer:/var/mail 1829101 859384 786807 52% /tmp_mnt/var/spool/mail

$ ls -l /usr/spool/mail/foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 plew src 29 Feb 22 18:20 /usr/spool/mail/foo
$ rm /usr/spool/mail/foo
$
Any help will be appreciated, please respond by email...
