John Heyer asked,
| 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
Isn't DEFAULT already preset to that? Isn't ORGMAIL already preset to that?
| 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.
$MAIL would be known only by a login shell or a descendant thereof. $USER
lost the battle to $LOGNAME in Posix, and procmail conforms, so the literal
answer to your question is
DEFAULT=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
but if the preset value of DEFAULT isn't that already, perhaps you need to
recompile procmail. The only reason you might ever want to change $DEFAULT
is to point it somewhere *other* than your regular spool.
