joe schmoe user should NEVER have perms to create arbitrary files in your
mailspool.
Additionally, the path shouldn't have quotes on it.
:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
"IN-testing"
What is your MAILDIR set to?
If I put just "IN-testing" what is the path that this is tacked onto
MAILDIR, which, as per 'man procmailrc', defaults to the user home dir, or
if you're manually invoking procmail (at a shell prompt), the current
directory. FTR, setting MAILDIR in effect _changes_ the current directory.
if I put /var/spool/mail/IN-testing is it really taking that as a literal
path
That's an absolute path, which as I indicate above, your user should have
NO perms to write to.
