I am trying to set up a spam filter, but every single program I have
downloaded
for my linux machine has had the same problem; all incoming mail gets
filtered.
there are no bounced messages, nothing logged, nothing in /var/log/messages,
etc.
when I remove the .forward file, mail starts working again. if I remove the
rc file,
it logs error messages.
i have download multiple procmail setups form different people and they have
all failed.
if I execute /usr/bin/procmail and then enter some text and then hit CTRL-D,
the mail goes
thorugh OK
here is a sample setup I tried (slackware linux machine):
~/.forward
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #root"
and I tried this:
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail #root"
and other variations
gateway:~/.procmail# more ~/.procmailrc
# Set to yes when debugging
VERBOSE=yes
# Remove ## when debugging; set to no if you want minimal logging
LOGABSTRACT=all
# Replace $HOME/Msgs with your message directory
# Mutt and elm use $HOME/Mail
# Pine uses $HOME/mail
# Netscape Messenger uses $HOME/nsmail
# Some news clients, such as slrn & nn, use $HOME/News
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # Make sure this directory exists!
# Directory for storing procmail-related files
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
# Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended)
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/testing.rc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc
any help?
