Re: dead horse -- procmail: No permission to execute

2003-09-05 12:48:59


Im going to beat a dead horse here.

When I first jumped unto this list, I emailed that procmail would not
execute 'date'.  I tried serveral different things over time to see if I
could execute 'date'

The receipe in question:

:0:
* ^Subject:.Test
Tests-`date +%y%b%d`


Have you considered the possibility of characters getting traslated
before your shell is seeing them?  In my /etc/procmailrc, I have a
DATE="/bin/date"
variable set, which is used by spambouncer successfully.
You might want to consider changing your delivery line to this;

Tests-`date '+%y%b%d'`
