# Create a backup cache of 100 most recent messages in case of mistakes
:0 c
.backup
:0 ic
| cd .backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,100d`
I just checke this file and found over 3000 messages int! Any idea
whats wrong here?
The problem is that the part after the "&& rm" deletes all but the oldest
100 FILES in a DIRECTORYU. You have 3000 MESSAGES in a FILE. Delete or
rename .backup and create a directory by that name. When procmail sees
that the destination is a directory, it will put each message in a
separate file in that directory. Otherwise, the message is appended to
the destination.
