Hi,
I've been using procmail and find it wonderful, but recently I've
had an odd problem. I've been trying to filter out duplicates
using the recipe in the procmailex man page:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
but it seems that formail can't write the msgid.cache file. It
creates the file, but it never seems to put anything in it. It's
not a permissions problem, since I changed the mode to 0666.
Here's an excerpt from the log:
...[deletia]...
Folder: /usr/spool/mail/teo 589
procmail: Notified comsat: "teo(_at_)0:/usr/spool/mail/teo"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/john/.procmail/rc.xxxxxx"
procmail: Locking "msgid.lock"
procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/formail,-D,8192,msgid.cache"
procmail: Program failure (1) of "/usr/bin/formail"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/bin/formail -D 8192 msgid.cache"
procmail: Unlocking "msgid.lock"
procmail: No match on "^From:(_dot_)*teo(_at_)ssr(_dot_)com"
...[deletia]...
If anyonne can advise me, I'd appreciate it. To round out the
picture, here's my setup:
NeXT OS Version 3.3
procmail version 3.10
I'm using qmail, but have Popover running to get mail from my
ISP's pop server. I hope this is enough to diagnose my problem.
Thanks in advance,
John
