At 20:29 2003-01-06 +0200, Stelios Asmargianakis did say:
The new mail accounts are under /home/myusername/mail and ofcourse the
default mail that works is under sendmail path (/var/mail/myusername).
I have already make a forward and procmailrc file under my home account but
nothing. The filters are working only for the main account.
.. which is, uh, the account which you have the procmailrc under.
What "account" do the other messages get delivered to? Ask you admin about
that.
I have made a contact with the administrator and he told me that he doesn't
have any solution about that.
Any detailed suggestions?
1. You should avoid using "admin@" as a regular email account.
2. Search the procmail archives for "virtual". That might include reading
responses to YOUR PREVIOUS INQUIRY ON THIS SAME TOPIC.
3. Get more information from your admin about how the virtual accounts are
configured, then do some research (incl. additional archive searches) on
those individual programs. If they're virtual POP accounts, you're out of
luck unless you can get the admin to set up aliases to invoke programs (or,
you could use fetchmail [not part of procmail] to retrieve the messages
from the POP/IMAP mailboxes and pass them into procmail - but then, you'd
need to redeliver them to a POP/IMAP mailbox - unlikely the same one you
downloaded them from). Of course, pursuant to #2, I've already pointed
this stuff out.
4. Alternative to #3, set up your own mailhost and configure your mail so
that you actually have control over it.
