1. Procmail is not sending the mail to a directory so that I

It sounds like whoever set you up used my Procmail Quick Start
(or an old version of it which was in the Filtering Mail FAQ). I
describe a method of combining the mailboxes that are in ~/mail
and ~/Msgs and soft linking (using `ln -s') these directories
here
<http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#multClients>
After you go through this procedure ~/mail and ~/Msgs will be the
same and you should see all the mailboxes in Pine (which uses
~/mail as the default local mailbox directory).
An alternative is to edit your .procamilrc so that instead of
MAILDIR=$HOME/Msgs
it says
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
2. Procmail is supposed to forward some of my mail to my pager
so that I get the important stuff immediatley. This is not
happening. How can I fix it?
Here is an excerpt of the .rc file:
* ^Subject:.*An Important Thing Happened!
* ! ^X-Loop: me(_at_)server\(_dot_)domain(_dot_)net
{
:0fwh
| formail -A"X-Loop: me(_at_)domain(_dot_)com"
:0c
! pager1(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
:0 pager2(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
IN.URGENT
!
}
The line
:0 pager2(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
doesn't make sense. I suggest that before you start editing your
procmail recipes, you read through my Procmail Quick Start (URL
in my sig) and learn the basics of Procmail, e.g., that the first
line of a recipe looks like
:0 flags: lockfilename
Good luck!
