Hi!
I have setup a Redhat 7 with the newest version of procmail. I use
sendmail as frontend.
I have a some problems with procmail and havn't been able to find any info
in the procmail-FAQ or anywahere else on the net - mayby because Maildir
is new to procmail.
In /etc/procmailrc I have:
DEFAULT = $HOME/Maildir/
This works almost as expected - users normaly get mail in
$HOME/Maildir/new/.
But there is a few problems:
1) Even though mail is put into $HOME/Maildir/new, an empty file (or with
50K users, 50K empty files) is created as /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
2) When inode disk quota exceeds, mails are delivered in
/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME with something like this in procmails log:
procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file
"/home/priv/test/Maildir/tmp/_LLC,2Kb16.hostname"
From root Thu Apr 12 15:50:46 2001
Folder: /var/spool/mail/test 389
Do to this, the inode limit is exeeded, so procmail cheats a bit here!
Normaly I guess thats "smart" - but when DEFAULT is something else, I
don't think it's very smart to write the mail there. :-)
3) When block disk quota exceeds, mails are bounced with error:
(reason: can't create (user) output file)
550 5.0.0 <test>... Can't create output
This is ofcause correct - But how will I be able to give a better error
message? I could do script that will test quota before delivery, but
disk might be filled between that point and the actual delevery.
In procmail's log I get somethign like this:
procmail: Quota exceeded while writing
"/home/priv/test/Maildir/tmp/_guD,XSb16.hostname"
procmail: Quota exceeded while writing "/var/spool/mail/test"
procmail: Truncated file to former size
From root Thu Apr 12 15:58:47 2001
Folder: **Bounced** 634
All surgestions are wevy welcomme!
