Okay, I have been using procmail for about a year now. I never got very
fancy with the ruleset, just sent some bothersome spammers to
/dev/null. Now I am trying to do a little more with it, and I am not
having any success. The server that my mail is sent to and read from is
not administered by myself, so I have no control over the version of
procmail or how sendmail is set up on the server.
The current version of procmail we are running is:
mx: {44} % procmail -v
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10
I am having 2 problems right now with my .procmailrc file that I can't
seem to find an answer for from co-workers, on the internet, or through
the mailing list archives. If someone could give me a hand, I would
appreciate it.
1. My LOGFILE doesn't seem to work. Here is what I have written here
in my .procmailrc file:
mx: {45} % head .procmailrc
## file: .procmailrc
## author: chris mutchler
## personal use only
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog
COMSAT=no
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=yes
I have tried simply writing LOGFILE=.procmaillog, however that doesn't
work either. I've tried creating the logfile manually and making sure
the permissions are set correctly on the file:
mx: {46} % ll .procmaillog
-rw-rw-rw- 1 chrism users 0 Jun 7 10:42 .procmaillog
However, no matter what I do, nothing gets put into the logfile. What
am I doing wrong?
2. The other issue I am having is that when I send something to a mail
"folder" -- I use pine to read my email, so it's really just a file --
it won't go there. But if I send it to /dev/null, it will work just
fine. Here is one of my rules:
:0 c
* ^From.*Administrator*
sa-msg
Any help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
