Checking the mailing list archives, I've noticed someone else complained
of the same problem, and it was suggested procmail -f $USER -d $USER
should be tried - I've tried that, with no success.
I'm not familiar with AIX, so I haven't tried a system call trace (I don't
know what the strace/truss equivalent on that platform is)....
Okay, I sat down and read a man page, and ran a trace on this command:
procmail -f vgadad -d vgadad < testmessage
This is what I see in the trace output:
First, procmail tries to read /etc/procmailrc and reports "file not
found". Good so far.
Next, procmail tries to read /l_home/vgadad/$HOME/.procmailrc. ??
$HOME seems to be defined correctly - when I su to vgadad and echo $HOME,
I get /l_home/vgadad.
config.h #defines PROCMAILRC as "$HOME/.procmailrc", so that's not the
problem....
