Why does it do this?
Why are you restructuring it from the script that was provided? If the two
rules rely on a common trigger, it makes more sense (and certainly will
when you have scores, if not hundreds, of rules being processed) to bracket
them as was previously shown.
What is the VERBOSE procmail log saying?
Please note that you didn't specify the 'i' flag on the recipe invoking the
script, so _as I previously said_, if the script isn't reading all the
message, Procmail will be assuming the delivery failed, and it may be
getting processed by other rules in your procmailrc. See 'man procmailrc'
for more info on the i flag.
For that matter, have you considered running procmail against a script
stand-alone rather than on your mail stream? This eliminates the
re-introduction of the message from possible forwards, etc. you may be
doing elsewhere -- make a procmail rc file which consists solely of the
script, plus necessary configuration elements (such as LOGFILE and MAILDIR
if you redefine them, etc).
Enable VERBOSE logging and CHECK THE LOGS. You still show no sign of
having done this.
Kindly trim unneccessary bits from your replies.
