Mark asked,
| 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...
See the last part of the procmail(1) man page. It explains exactly how to do
that. Search that man page for the word "postprocess."
