Thanks for the responses so far. It turns out that procmail is
actually filtering the mail as expected. However, the only
problem is that each mail shows up twice on my mailer. That is,
when email X arrives, procmail puts it in mailbox X, per my recipe,
and then sends it to my inbox two times. This happened as soon as I
turned on vacation on my mailer (I'm using CDE dtmail).
dtmail modified the .forward file by adding the following line:
\bdurant, "| /usr/bin/vacation bdurant"
It also created the following files:
.vacation.dir
.vacation.msg
.vacation.pag
So the question is: why am I receiving every new email twice?
Should I just emulate vacation as explained in procmailex(5) instead?
Thanks,
Bill
