Hi
Ive just started trying to use procmail, I was following the "Procmail Quick
Start by Nancy McGough" - http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/
My system is a Cobalt Raq 4 - which is based on Redhat Linux, version of
procmail is
[root Procmail]# procmail -v
procmail v3.13.1 1999/04/05, Copyright (c) 1999, Stephen R. van den Berg

Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
Your system mailbox: /var/spool/mail/root

Subject: procmail testing
Folder: /var/spool/mail/test
procmail: Notified comsat: "test(_at_)0:/var/spool/mail/test"
Im guessing its a permissions problem, can anyone point me in the right
direction?
Thanks
