Thanks to the previous advice I have made some progress.
My global procmailrc works, my ~/.procmailrc files are gone and
~/.forward files are no longer required. Amazing how it works as
documented when you actually do it correctly!
To help debug it is listed here:
PMDIR=/etc/procmail
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
LOG="
"
VERBOSE=yes
##LOGABSTRACT=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/evolution
##DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/rachel (commented out due to locking prob)
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.daddy
I am still having problems delivering to the mail spool directory of
users.
Based on my last email, if I put a test through this filter, in this
case, testing on my LAN, sending an email to logan(_at_)monaro(_dot_)local, with
Redhat as the subject:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*Redhat
/var/spool/mail/roland
I get the following in my log (verbose on)
procmail: [3593] Wed Feb 5 22:27:47 2003

Folder:

Do I have a permissions issue? Guess I don't fully understand the log.
/etc/procmailrc has root.root ownership and 755 permissions
Thanks for your time.
