I'm setting up Procmail as a secondary spam filter.
Primary filtering is done using exim as my MTA.
I'm finding that filter clauses that I expect to work aren't always.
But when they fail, and when the user has his own procmailrc file
then there isn't anything useful logged.
E.g.
VERBOSE=YES
:0 H:
[mess of score expressions.]
/var/spool/spam/bigfoot
If this fails, there is nothing to tell me what the subject
and from was so that I can try to match what was happeining
with the scores.
So in order to log from and subject so that I could try to
match the message I didn't want to receive with the log of the
scoring, I did this:
:0 Hc:
*
/dev/null
This seems to be a clunky way to do it.
Is there a more elegant way to extract information for logging, but
not for delivery?
