Hi Scott
Thanks for the response - I've been somewhat overloaded, hence the
delay.

This is what procmail is seeing. Check your mail files and you can see
that your subject is not really what you're setting it to.
I guess this is to do with my exim setup. I have a number of email
accounts/addresses/domains that I send and receive mail on.
Originally, I set them up so that exim would relay for all of them but
it meant that I couldn't send messages to others with the same domain
(eg. @clivemenzies.co.uk) so I changed it back to sending from
clive(_at_)apollo which gives rise to the above problem as well as some
messages bouncing because it is treated as an invalid address. I need
to get my head around the mail package relationships and find a better
way of setting it up -not yet a critical task ;-) I'm still using mail
on OSX as a back-up
I am collecting mail every 10 minutes (cron job) and I've been sending
test messages with the subject " a test 1 " etc.
As for the debian recipe, try removing the wildcard (.*) and '@' sign,
and escape the dots:
* ^TO_lists\.debian\.org
I tried your suggestion and it hasn't picked anything up. So I'll play
with a few other combinations when I have time, before coming back to
the list. I am aware I need to understand a lot more about the
relationship between mutt, exim, getmail and procmail before I can
really resolve all of this. This is a live environment I'm working on
and so the opportunity to experiment is limited.
Thanks anyway
Regards
Clive
