I was a very happy user of Procmail for some time, then suddenly it
decided that didn't want to work any more!
Here are the headers to my .procmailrc and the permissions.
PATH=`which procmail` # Procmail Path
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAIL # Default mailbox
LOGFILE=$HOME/mail/procmail.log
LOCKFILE=$HOME/mail/.lockmail
mh(_at_)r2d2 mail]$ ls -la ../.procmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 timh timh 2125 Jul 10 07:11 ../.procmailrc
Then suddenly I noticed all the email, that was usually filtered
else where was showing up in $MAIL. Viewing the log, it appears that it
stopped running a few days previos, or something caused it to stop.
Here's the last entry in my procmail.log.
From timh Fri Jun 29 16:35:36 2001
Subject: NextCard Visa! As low as 2.99% Intro APR!
Folder: /var/spool/mail/timh
2720
I didn't do anything to change this, and I don't recall installing
anything or updating anything that would have caused a problem. It was
still installed, but it wouldn't work for any user.
As of earlier today, I reinstalled procmail, and still no changes.
What's causing this? Does anybody have a clue as to why this has
stopped?
The machine is a Mandrake 8.0 machine. It appears that Postfix is
configured to automatically send mail through procmail. I have procmail
running and working fine on a RedHat 7.1 machine and a FreeBSD machine.
(I had to create a .forward for FreeBSD, but it works fine.) Can
anybody advise or provide any idea of where to look? Thank you!
