Never had much problem installing procmail on other
systems, but this one's always been a pain. Can't
even get filter to work...never could.
They're running SCO UnixWare 7.0.1 if that helps any
at all. I'll throw in a couple of the environment
variables for fun:
BASH_VERSINFO=([0]="2" [1]="01" [2]="1" [3]="2" [4]="release"
[5]="i386-sco-sysv5")
BASH_VERSION='2.01.1(2)-release'
So, here's the .forward I'm using, and the first few
lines of the .procmailrc file (the pwd is /home/csmith):
=========
.forward:
"|IFS=' ' && p=/home/csmith/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- ||
exit 75 #csmith"
=========
.procmailrc:
# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones
that
# are not.
# PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
PATH=/home/csmith/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=/home/csmith/Mail # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/csmith
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
LOCKFILE=/home/csmith/.lockmail
...
Last line of the .procmailrc file:
/var/spool/mail/csmith
-------
The following are the permissions of the files and directories:
drwxr-xr-x 2 csmith users 1024 Apr 18 01:13 Mail/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 csmith users 90 Apr 11 17:24 .forward*
drwxr-xr-x 2 csmith users 1024 Apr 18 01:01 bin/
drwxr-xr-x 2 csmith users 1024 Apr 17 22:37 mail/
drwxr-xr-x 4 csmith users 96 Apr 18 01:01 man/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 csmith users 18060 Apr 18 01:27 .procmailrc
-------
REM'd out the original PATH statement thinking I would try
the absolute path instead of $HOME/bin, but it made no difference.
What happens is basically nothing at all. Any mail that goes to
that address disappears, and no log file is generated. The complete
installation log file is online so you gurus can debug it. I noticed
it was burping a few times, but frankly don't know what to make of
the error messages. Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA
