Failed Delivery

2000-05-08 05:03:49
Using procmail 3.14, I have my .forward as follows:

"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -t -Yf- || exit 
75 #sobek"

As I understand it, if procmail tries to deliver to a mail file, and
it fails, either cannot create lock or cannot write to file, then the
e-mail gets requeued.  And it will be retried later when sendmail gets
around to it, right?

When is the decision made to send to $DEFAULT?

I still cannot see how an e-mail to a particular mailing list ended up
in a SPAM mailbox.  Once that the mailing list is detected, there is
delivery possible in a number of files, but not further on in my SPAM
checking code.

Thanks,
