Hello,
I sent this message last night, but since then, I have tried fetchpop
(..which has an option to send mail straight to Procmail..)
Fetchpop does not seem to work with the ISP I am trying to use, but I tried
with another ISP, and it works...
So, I suspect my problem is either the Sendmail config, or the .forward
file. I have tried re-typing the .forward file..
Can anyone tell me how to get Procmail to work with Sendmail / Fetchmail,
because at the moment, it looks like Procmail is working, but not being
invoked when fetchmail receives mail...
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have setup Sendmail (8.10.0), Procmail (3.14 and Fetchmail (5.2.8)
When I send a test message, Fetchmail gets the message.
I do a mailq, and see this:
/var/spool/mqueue (1 request)
----Q-ID---- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient---------
---

"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/bin/procmail -f-||e
Then, when I do 'sendmail -q' it puts the message in /var/spool/mail/mail
(which did not exist), instead of /var/spool/mail/ianmail, which did exist
and this is what the script says to do..
No log file is generated either. I have the VERBOSE=yes option on as well...
Anyone have any ideas what is happening???
Bye for Now,
Ian
