Re-sending mail through procmail manually?

2000-05-11 05:01:11

I accidentally left my home directory mode 777 (don't ask), so sendmail/procmail didn't trust the rc and wouldn't filter using the .procmailrc in my home dir...

Now I'm got a large spool file in my /var/spool/mail mailbox, and I'd like to re-filter it, but can't exactly figure out how...

I tried doing "cat file |exec /usr/bin/procmail" (as the owner of the file), but procmail didn't process all 200-some messages contained in the file, only the 1st message...

Any help appreciated.
