Greetings,
I am attempting to setup a .procmailrc file to filter my messages into
different folders.
I have read all the 'how-to' documents I could find, and have come up with the
following basic format (in this case to filter all messages sent to
'nospam(_at_)championville(_dot_)org' to the folder 'nospam'):
:0:
* ^To:(_dot_)*nospam(_at_)championville(_dot_)org
nospam
However, when I test this I have found that the message is not displayed by my
mail browser in the 'INBOX' folder and is not displayed in the 'nospam' folder.
The message is visible by doing a 'cat /var/spool/mail/<<my user name>>'
my sendmail.mc used to generate my sendmail.cf does include:
FEATURE(`local_procmail','usr/bin/procmail')
MAILER(procmail)
I have tested this setup by NOT creating the folder 'nospam' initially, as well
as by creating it before doing the test. There is no difference.
In the .procmailrc MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail is defined. This (/home/thomas/Mail) is
the directory where I created (and have looked for) the 'nospam' folder.
If it makes any difference (which I doubt) I do access my mail via IMAP.
Please respond to: thomas(_at_)championville(_dot_)org
(I just subscribed to the mail list and don't want to miss a reply)
Any help, pointer, etc greatly appreciated!
TIA
Thomas
