writing on the subject 'sendmail and procmail don act on $HOME/.procmailrc'
Ivailo> Hi all,
Ivailo>
Ivailo> Problem: sendmail and procmail activate only from /etc/procmailrc, but
don't act on any $HOME/.procmailrc recipes. However when i do a local recipe
test like # procmail .procmialrc < sample.msg the recipe works correct.
Ivailo>
Ivailo> I wonder what i am missing. here is what i have done so far:
Ivailo>
Ivailo> 1. installed latest procmail
Ivailo> 2. edited the Mlocal parameter in sendmail.cf as described in the
procmail documentation.
Ivailo> 3. even created a .forward file in the user's home dir
Ivailo>
Ivailo> any input will be appreciated.
Ivailo>
Ivailo> thank you all.
What does the .forward in your $HOME say?
Mine says this:
wash:~$ less .forward
"| /usr/local/bin/procmail"
This pipes all mail thro procmail. I guess that is what you're missing,
no?
