Re: rule stopped working

Raven,

Procmail writes to the file, not Postfix.

Is there a file called acr.lock in your mail directory? If so, make sure that Procmail is not in the middle of delivering a message to that mailbox (check the date and time on the acr.lock file and wait a reasonable period of time), then remove acr.lock.

Make sure that the alphabetic case of the filename "acr" and the rule "acr" match exactly.

Make sure that the file permissions [-rw-------], file owner [raven] and group owner [15] of acr are exactly identical to the other mailboxes that work.

Here is something to try:

there are probably several hundred messages in the mailbox.

go into Pine.

Create another mailbox (like acrArchive)

move a bunch of messages (~75%) from acr to acrArchive

see if Procmail is happy.

Good luck!

Dave
