Re: Not writing to temp file... Ignore previous posting today!

2000-12-12 11:31:06

Note: your "previous posting today" (as well as your current one) have entirely incorrect date/time settings - please correct your clock. Also, when posting up followups on existing threads, try to post under the original subject, or at least use the "new subj (was: old subj)" style. Thus, people who home in on the original thread will note the new one as being related.

Additionally, the procmail mailing list changed addresses some time back. Please note the correct address is "procmail(_at_)lists(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de"

You do not indicate OS or procmail version.

This is the killlog.log:

This is a logfile for which you have not posted the relevant rcfile, which makes it somewhat difficult to tell you where a brace or option might be out of order.

Look at the log though, and ask yourself "What is $KILLFILE set to?"

procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/poohba/mail"
procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/home/poohba/.procmail"
procmail: Assigning "PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail"

Note: you've redefinied MAILDIR from what it was above. Any reasoning for this?

procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/poohba"
procmail: Executing " test -f $KILLFILE && test -s $KILLFILE"
procmail: Program failure (1) of " test -f $KILLFILE && test -s $KILLFILE"

Apparently the file LITERALLY named "$KILLFILE" wasn't found to exist (and not be a directory and be writeable, which are secondary to it even being found).

procmail: No match on " test -f $KILLFILE && test -s $KILLFILE"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/poohba/.procmail/rc.first"
procmail: Match on ! "^MAIL_DEAMON"
procmail: Match on ! "^X-Loop: 
poohba(_at_)poohba\(_dot_)adsl(_dot_)duke(_dot_)edu"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=temp"
procmail: Opening "temp"
procmail: Error while writing to "temp"

Ask yourself whether you should be creating files in /var/spool/mail/ at will.
