Hello List,
Is there an issue with Procmail V3.22 and receiving an EX_TEMPFAIL from
an invoked program (dmail from the imap-2002b set), that resulted from an
invalid
setup?
I believe I lost mail today because of it.
I invoke dmail with lines like:
|/usr/local/bin/dmail 2>/dev/null +${PG_LISTS}/committers
What had happened is I changed my IMAP configuration to move it's home
directory from
~/Mail/ to ~/, and invalidly changed the variables at the top of the file
to miss a / that
was needed.
I also had symlinked ~/INBOX to ~/Mail/INBOX.
Dmail tried the invalid path, couldn't find it, then tried ~/INBOX, and
didn't like
the symlink.
At that point, I believe, as does Mark Crispin, that dmail returned
EX_TEMPFAIL to
procmail.
Shouldn't procmail have written the mail to /var/spool/$USER?
Thanks for any insight.
