Thank you for the effort. Unfortunately I get the same result as before. The notice.pl script goes into a loop and the incoming file is never delivered to DEFAULT. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Well, what if you DON'T call the notice script. I specifically changed the order of delivery such that the message should be stored to the default folder BEFORE calling the script.

Please describe the "loop" issue (refer to my original post where I inquired why you call this a loop difficulty without describing *ANYTHING* about looping).

Try turning on verbose logging and examine what procmail is doing:

VERBOSE=ON

(this script)

VERBOSE=OFF

(i..e. you don't need to have VERBOSE on for EVERYTHING).

You might also try setting the 'i' flag for the rule that calls the notification script. Perhaps it isn't actually reading the message, and thus the message 'fails' to deliver, and is picked up by another rule further down your procmailrc.


        :0i
        | $HOME/notice.pl


See 'man procmailrc' for info on the flags.
