I've got a problem with something I just tried.
I want to log where the message I'm throwing away might have belonged
if I hadn't dropped it into the bit bucket. My attempt is this:
A part of my .procmailrc has these entries
:0:
* ^From.*fwtk
fwtk_junk
:0:
* ^TOfwtk
fwtk_junk
I then did a ln -s /dev/null fwtk_junk, so that the messages are actually
thrown away, and not kept in a folder called fwtk_junk.
The reason for this is to scan headers, and see where my spam mail is really
coming from, and keep stats on each site, the size of messages I've
trashed, and the number of them.
If I just use /dev/null, I can't get the stats info on where they came from.
The problem is that when I use the symbolic links, I get the following in
my log file:
procmail: Kernel-lock failed
procmail: Kernel-unlock failed

Subject: Re: smapd maxbytes
Folder: fwtk_junk 2897
I suspect this means I should not use a lock file? Is that the only problem
here?
thanks,
