Hi all,
I have installed procmail as a normal user. The binary is in a directory which
is accessible to our group. Several users of our group would like to use
procmail. So, every user has it's own .forward file (world readable) and
.procmailrc (only owner read/writable).
Somewhere in the documentation of the procmail distribution I have read, that a
normal user may set up procmail only for himself. Does this mean, that our
setup as described above is wrong, does not work? If so, what would the
consequences be, if we keep the setup as described?
Let me briefly describe a problem that I am facing:
whenever I send a mail to two users, of which at least one is a procmail user
I get a message that delivery has failed, even though that person DOES get the
mail.:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: fridez(_at_)ubecx01(_dot_)unibe(_dot_)ch
Original address: pierre(_dot_)fridez(_at_)aiub(_dot_)unibe(_dot_)ch
Reason: Shell exited with status -1 (Error -1)
If I send the message to one user only (even if this is a procmail user)
everything works out just fine.
We use procmail as mail filter tool only.
Procmail version 3.13.1, under solaris 2.6.
Thanks for your answer, if you need more info to see more clearly, let me know
Pierre
