Dear people,
Perhaps any of you can wisen me up a bit about the delivery scheme used by
procmail. My .procmailrc starts as follows:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin
MAILDIR=/usr/bin/procmail/bin
VERBOSE=yes
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
LOGABSTRACT=yes
SENDMAIL=/bin/sendmail
:0 c
$MAILDIR/allmail
...
When I send mail to a person, invoking procmail via a .forward file, a funny
thing happens; mail for which no recipe is specified, gets stored in
$MAILDIR/allmail, but also in /dead.letter. The log says:
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/bin/sendmail @asarian-host"
My question now is twofold:
1): What is the function of storing mail in $MAILDIR/allmail? I much rather
have it appended to a valid mailbox, such as:
/usr/mail/admin
2): Why the dead.letter when it is already being stored in $MAILDIR/allmail?
And how do I prevent the dead.letter from happening?
Much obliged,
- Mark
System Administrator Asarian-host.org
