I like to use `biff' in my console (so I see all incoming
messages). After installing procmail, ordinary messages are
echoed as usual, but when an incoming message has something
in it that finds a match in my .procmailrc, I am
notified wrongly.
I get notification, seemingly, of the first mail message
in my /var/mail mailbox!
...
BUT. Messages are delivered to my /var/mail/jme mailbox,
and the IN.testing folder, respectively, but the console gets two
*duplicate* messages that I enclose after the signature. THe first
is correct, it is the first incoming message. The second is not,
it should be the `MAIL WITH test IN IT' message!
Your comsat daemon is too old: it ignores the mailbox part of the biff
message. You'll need to dig up a newer version (the linux or *BSD
versions should work) and install it.
