Yep, I'm not so hot on permissions so I made them all 777 for the
purpose of testing.
...
Procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/home/nick/.procmailrc"
Procmail: Could'nt read "/home/nic/.procmailrc"
Somethings definately a bit fishy there.
Yes
I'll give it ago if no one spots something obvious after this post.
This is one of the things that Sean's script would have spotted for you,
I believe. Presumably the permissions on /home/nick/.procmailrc and/or
/home/nick are also 777. Procmail recognises that as a security problem
and refuses to use an unsafe .procmailrc. If you take a look at 'man
procmail' you'll find:
Suspicious rcfile "x" The owner of the rcfile was not the
recipient or root, the file was
world writable, or the directory
that contained it was world
writable, or this was the default
rcfile ($HOME/.procmailrc) and ei-
ther it was group writable or the
directory that contained it was
group writable (the rcfile was not
used).
Set the permissions on .procmailrc to, say, 640 and on /home/nick to,
say, 755 and try again.
Hope that helps,
Martin
