From: John Heyer <john(_at_)snake(_dot_)supranet(_dot_)net>
In my .procmailrc file, I have variable called DEFAULT to put my mail in
/var/mail when it's determined to be important, i.e.
DEFAULT=/var/mail/john
Is there any way to do this without explicitly putting my username in? I
tried using the $MAIL and $USER variables that show up in my shell, but
they do not seem to be recognized by procmail.
From `man procmailrc':
ORGMAIL /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
(Unless -m has been specified, in which case it is
unset)
So `$LOGNAME' in your case will equal `john'; but you don't
need to bother with what you've attempted, anyway, because $ORGMAIL
already is set to that (assuming proper compile).
Note, from the same man page, that $DEFAULT already comes pre-set
to $ORGMAIL, as well. Sometimes there might be a reason one would
want to change $DEFAULT; but changing $ORGMAIL inside the .procmailrc
is usually frowned upon.
