Lost mail

2003-02-03 06:49:01
Hello,

I get mail over SMTP with Postfix, what uses Procmail for the delivery.
Procmail uses the Cyrus IMAP program "deliver" for delivery. This
last program failed and many mail is lost (so far I know).

I've used the -t option of Procmail but I did not find the mail. Is it
really lost?

What can I do to make this better for the future?

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.


/etc/procmailrc:
-------
DELIVERMAIL="/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver"
LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log"
IMAP="$DELIVERMAIL -e -a $USER -m user.$USER"

:0 w
| $IMAP

:0 w
{
EXITCODE=$?
    HOST
}
-------

/var/log/procmail.log:
---
   Subject: Call from 0
    Folder: /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a paul -m user.paul
   29154
procmail: Timeout, terminating "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver"
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver"
procmail: Program failure (-15) of "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/deliver"
---

part of /etc/postfix/master.cf:
--
procmail  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
     flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m USER=${user}
EXTENTION=${extension} /etc/procmailrc
