I apologize if this is receied twice - looks like what was in it the first
time may have been filtered & never reached the list...
I've recently set up a few recipes in /etc/procmailrc to drop Klez & other
viruses into a special account & not deliver to the original recepient.
It has worked like a dream come true.
I have created a "virus" users account that receives all these messages.
Whoever reads the account hunts down & kills the propagator if they're
local. I list the full path to a folder in the virus account's home dir,
and have the recipe delivering fine there, but since it's coming from
/etc/procmailrc. it gets delivered & owned by root. I would like to chown
it to the virus user, but have had limited success so far.
Here's what I've got:
:0B
* <my pattern(s)>
{
:0c
/export/home/faculty/virus/Maildir/.Filtered.Klez-1/
:0
| chown -R virus /export/home/faculty/virus/Maildir/.Filtered.Klez-1/
}
When I run nearly the identical recipe for my personal account, I receive
no errors & it works fine, unless I up the LOGABSTRCT level to all - then
it works, but I just get some errors in my personal log. With the
/etc/procmailrc, depending on what I set LOGABSTRACT to, I get different
errors.
With LOGABSTRACT set to yes, I get this error:
procmail: Error while writing to "chown"
From MAILER-DAEMON(_at_)geneseo(_dot_)edu Fri Oct 4 08:49:21 2002
Subject: Warning: could not send message for past 4 hours
Folder: /home/slr4/Maildir/new/1033735761.3634_1.helios 156978
& it doesn't appear to have delivered the message to the special virus
account.
With LOGABSTRACT set to all, I get this error:

Folder: /home/sbn2/Maildir/new/1033735609.3164_1.helios 135313
It's procmail 3.22 in solaris 8, with sendmail using procmail to deliver
to Maildirs.
I've been banging my head off the desk for a couple days now & haven't
found enlightenment in any of the manpages yet. Is this the correct way
to deliver to my special account & make them own it? Can I do it with
some type of variable? Any help is appreciated ahead of time.
