2) Calling procmail from .qmail file via wrapper script as advised in
the Life with Qmail FAQ (see http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#procmail)
Thanks for pointing this wrapper script out -- I've added a link to it
in my Procmail Quick Start.
I would also suggest moving the LOGFILE assignment to the very top of the
rcfile, before the VERBOSE assignment.
I also changed the .procmailrc file that I give here
<http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#testing.rc>
so LOGFILE is set before VERBOSE. Question: How important is it to do
this? Is it just a matter of aesthetics or does it make a difference
to procmail's ability to write to the log (e.g., does it affect
procmail's logging efficiency?)
If you remove $HOME/procmail-log and send yourself an email, procmail
should recreate it. Does it? What are its permissions?
Speaking of permissions, I've added
UMASK=077
to the .procmailrc in my Procmail Quick Start and I'm wondering:
* does this affect the permission of log files as well as mailboxes and
messages? what else does it affect?
* is it a good idea for me to suggest this to newbie Procmail users or
is it possible this could cause them problems?
Thanks,
Nancy
