Re: Unfiltered mail goes to .mail instead of mail? (Part II) (fwd)

Log file excerpt and rc.maillists, please. (Not to me personally; to
the list.)

Log file excerpt:

From mpollak(_at_)panix(_dot_)com  Sun Sep 20 18:26:57 1998
 Subject: other message
  Folder: /net/u/9/m/mpollak/.mail                                          660

  Folder: IN.testing                                                        659
From mpollak(_at_)panix(_dot_)com  Sun Sep 20 18:39:47 1998
 Subject: other subject (post maillists)
  Folder: /net/u/9/m/mpollak/.mail                                          677


rc.maillists:  Funny you should mention.  The only thing that is in my
rc.maillists is "#"  The Filtering Mail FAQ (and yes, you were right about
that -- it was the Filtering Mail FAQ I got these recipes from, not the
Procmail FAQ) doesn't actually tell you to make an rc.maillists file until
after you've successfully tested.  But when I didn't have one, I got back
the following error message:

From mpollak(_at_)panix(_dot_)com  Sun Sep 20 18:24:15 1998
 Subject: test
  Folder: IN.testing                                                        651
procmail: Couldn't read "/net/u/9/m/mpollak/.procmail/rc.maillists"
From mpollak(_at_)panix(_dot_)com  Sun Sep 20 18:24:27 1998
 Subject: other subject
  Folder: /net/u/9/m/mpollak/.mail                                          660
procmail: Couldn't read "/net/u/9/m/mpollak/.procmail/rc.maillists"

So I made /.procmail/rc.maillists with just one commented out line, which
removed the error message.  But the unfiltered mail was already heading to
.mail, according to the log.

Thanks again for any and all suggestions,

Michael
