Unfiltered mail goes to .mail instead of mail?

1998-09-20 22:02:10

I've made files according to the specs of the latest procmail faq, and I'm
halfway there: my test message, with "test" in the subject, is
successfully filtered into the folder named IN.testing But all other mail
goes not to my inbox, but to a file in my root directory named .mail.

Since, I'm using Pine, and my mail directory is mail, this sure looks like
the sort of thing that would result from a typo. Especially since,
according to my logfile, there are no errors in the technical sense, i.e,
this is what my procmail file seem to be telling the computer to do.

But for the life of me I can't find it. Can someone help?  Any and all
suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Below is my .forward file, my
.procmailrc file and my rc.testing file.

Thanks again,

Michael

.procmail file:

#Set on when debugging                                   
VERBOSE=off
                                       
#Replace 'mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm Mail)             
  
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail

#Directory for storing procmail log and rc files         
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail                                    
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing                              
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists
