Re: Local setup for procmail?

David,

All the incoming messages could save into mbox. I am able to reall all the
msgs with 'mailx'. All I wanted to do was to save some megs into a file. I
tried a lot of procmailrc's. But none of them worked out. Looks like I need
to make a request to the sys admin to install the procmail in the system
area.

Thanks.

Gijun followed up,

You're welcome.  Joe's answer is probably the case: procmail is not
getting
invoked at all because your MTA doesn't read .forward files or doesn't
like
the contents of yours.  If the system runs smrsh, for example, the only
programs you can run are those linked into smrsh's special directory.

What happens to them?  Do they go to your regular mail spool?  Do they
vanish?  You seem to be receiving other mail OK, such as this list.

By the way, your .procmailrc doesn't set MAILDIR, so procmail's default
working directory is your $HOME.  Did you look for in-testing there?
Maybe
you have a mail or Mail directory, and you expected it there instead?
