OK, I had thought I'd tested a recipe and that it was working. It
turns out there was a syntax error in it and my log filled up with:
Folder: formail -i"X-Header-1: YES"
now, I have backups of all the mail and so have recovered the spool,
but, where DID that mail go? Did it just drop off and vanish or is it
lurking in some folder somewhere?
If your recipe had this action with no `f' flag,
| formail -i"X-Header-1: YES"
then the message was modified by formail and written to stdout. Now,
where did stdout point? If you weren't using the -m option when you
invoked formail, stdout was closed. The messages did indeed vanish.
OK, I lied. They came to me, and I've been laughing my head off reading
them. You're one weird dairy product.
OK, *that* was the lie. I was telling the truth the first time. They
disappeared.
Now, if your recipe had this action,
formail -i"X-Header-1: YES"
the message were written to $MAILDIR/formail and procmail would have
skipped the rest of the line.
