BOGUS problems

1998-11-09 12:55:06

Hello,

I've just setup procmail over an existing qmail configuration. Qmail uses
the mbox ($HOME/Mailbox) format. I was able to get procmail to sort my
stuff, but I can't figure out how to setup a "default" (ie:
$HOME/Mailbox). I keep a copy of all incoming in a folder called Backup,
some get sorted according to the rules in .procmailrc, but all the rest
disappears... Not good.  :(

Here are the errors I see in my logs.

in syslog:

Nov  9 13:25:03 mail procmail[15334]: Couldn't rename bogus
"/var/spool/mail/caronj" into "/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.DzZ"

in messages:

Nov  9 13:29:55 mail qmail: 910636195.469384 delivery 17: success:
procmail:_Renaming_bogus_mailbox_"/var/spool/mail/caronj"_into_"/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.DzZ"
/procmail:_Couldn't_create_"/var/spool/mail/caronj"/did_0+0+1/

In addition, FYI:

I have a soft link from /var/spool/mail/caronj to $HOME/Mailbox.

I have tried many different things so far, but I don't get it.

Can anyone help, please ?

Thanks

John
