Hi
I have the following setup:
Debian Woody - getmail, mutt, exim, procmail. Mailboxes are maildir
format AFAIK.
I am a relative newbie to Linux and a novice when it comes to mail
handling. I've used Nancy McGough's guide to setting up procmail and
from the logs, procmail appears to be working, except that it is not
picking up matches as I would expect.
I've set up two recipes:
:0
* ^Subject:.*test
IN-testing/
:0
* ^TO_(_dot_)*(_at_)lists(_dot_)debian(_dot_)org
debian/
(I've also tried the full email addresses debian-user@ and
debian-powerpc@)
Logfile output from: tac Procmail/pmlog|less:
Folder: /var/mail/clive
72198
Subject: Cron <clive(_at_)apollo> /usr/bin/getmail
From clive(_at_)apollo Sat May 03 13:50:18 2003
procmail: Unlocking "/var/mail/clive.lock"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/clive"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/clive"
procmail: Locking "/var/mail/clive.lock"
procmail: No match on
"(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope|Apparently
(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)(_dot_)*(_at_)lists(_dot_)debian(_dot_)org"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.subscriptions"
procmail: No match on "^Subject:.*test"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.testing"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/clive/Mail"
procmail: [3673] Sat May 3 13:50:18 2003
I am collecting mail every 10 minutes (cron job) and I've been sending
test messages with the subject " a test 1 " etc. I'm also receiving
constant posts to debian-user(_at_)lists(_dot_)debian(_dot_)org and
debian-powerpc(_at_)lists(_dot_)debian(_dot_)org but neither the tests nor the debian
list messages are being picked up by the recipes above; they are just
dropping into the inbox.
I've tried changing the default inbox in getmail and mutt to
/var/mail/clive but it made no difference.
I suspect that I'm missing something really obvious but having gone
round in circles for the last 24 hours (now considerably longer) - I
need help ;-)
Many thanks
Clive
