Hello,
Based on your answers to my questions about the feasibility of employing
procmail to process incoming mail, I began studying about it.
Please advise me how to go forward as I am not able to process my mails in
any way.
I have created $HOME/.procmailrc with the following contents.
set SHELL=/bin/sh
set PATH=/usr/local/bin
set LINEBUF=4096
set VERBOSE=no
set MAILDIR=$HOME/MsgS #( I have created the directory with the necessary
permissions)
set FORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/formail
set SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
# Simple recipe
:0c:
$MAILDIR/mail.backup
My .forward file is
"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #mylogin"
The version of procmail is v3.11pre7.
The reslut of 'telnet mydomain.com 25' ( to know about mail agents ) is
telnet mydomain.com 25
Trying mydomain.com ...
Connected to 10.64.157.147.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mydomain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3+Sun/8.9.3; Fri, 20 Jul 2001
09:21:22 -0500 (GMT)
I feel that procmail is not my LDA as the term 'procmail' itself doesn't
appear anywhere in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf .
I feel my version of procmail may be the cause of non working.
Please advise me what else should I do.
Thanks for your help.
Harsha
