Hello,
Hello,
If the message doesn't have that "From " (Explicitly, "From<space>")
header, then elm will complain about a corrupt mailbox. I suspect
that whatever you are using to pull those messages from your ISP is
stripping that header off for some reason -- procmail won't remove it,
but it won't (by default) create it either.
I don't understand this....
I used to use fetchpop to get my mail, and use the -p switch, so it passed
mail straight to Procmail...
Then, I had rules like this, one for each user:
:0:
* ^TO_ian@
/var/spool/mail/ianmail
Then all I do, is log on from a windows pc, via pop3d, and log on as ianmail
and I get mail for ian..easy!
Now, when I do this with fetchmail, using the mda switch, the windows pc's
and mail on linux is ignoring any mail (even though there are messages in
the file), and elm is complaining of a corrupt mailbox.
I am now confused as what to do...I want to collect using fetchmail, filter
using procmail and collect from windows via pop3d.
So, what is the best way to do this??? Am I missing something?
If I am already doing it right, how do I get round this problem??
Do I:
* invoke procmail with the -f user(_at_)isp
* add this :0 fwh
|formail
to the procmail recipie
Which is best, or is there a better way????
Suggestions please!
(There must be loads of people here, collecting via POP3 and filtering for
the network!!!...please tell me how you do it!!)
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
Bye for Now,
Ian
