Hello procmail gurus,
posting again the same problem.
briefly: 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.
procmail matches the INCLUDERC and the .procmailrc file and applies it
to all user names.
in particular this recepies filter mail from a certain sender. but when my
other users get mail from that sender the mails are filtered in the same
way, although there are no .procmailrc files in their dirs. so i guess the
INCLUDERC directive simply gets the rules from $HOME/.procmailrc and
propagades them for everyone - which is the same as simply listing the rule
in question in the /etc/procmailrc.
I wonder what i am missing. here is what i have done so far:
1. installed latest procmail
2. edited the Mlocal parameter in sendmail.cf as described in the procmail
documentation.
3. even created a .forward file in the user's home dir, but that
should not be necessary
/etc/procmailrc
SENDMAIL = /usr/sbin/sendmail
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin
PMDIR=$HOME/
MAILDIR=$HOME/
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log.`date +%y-%m-%d`
SHELL=/bin/sh
INCLUDERC=/path/to/user/.procmailrc
$HOME/.procmailrc
# Put mail from pm.greyhound into mailbox Send_From_Pm
:0:
* ^(From).*pm.greyhound
Sent_From_Pm_Greyhound
thank you
