Hello,
What I want to be able to do, is receive mail from a hostbased mailbox,
filter it, into separate files, and pick them up from a windows machine,
over the network, connecting to pop3d on the Linux box.
Right, I recieve the mail form the ISP, and filter with a recipe like this:
:0:
* ^TO_ian@
/var/spool/mail/ianmail
:0:
* ^TO_anotheruser@
/var/spool/mail/otheruser
..etc..etc..
Now, when I recieve a message, it puts it into /var/spool/mail/ianmail fine,
but when I go from my windows POP3 client and log on to pick it up, it says
I have no mail. Then, when I log on to the linux box as ianmail, mail says I
have no mail (Even though the message is in /var/spool/mail/ianmail !). When
I run elm, it says:
Reading in /var/spool/mail/ianmail, message,0
Folder is corrupt!! I can't read it!!
Discarding any changes made to mail folder ...
Any ideas why this is happening????
(Is there another way to do this??)
Thanks in Advance!!
Bye for Now,
Ian
