Thanks, SBS.
I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply but I've been doing other
things & discovered mozilla-thunderbird which has grown on me in the
interim,
but is in the end no substitute for
procmail/mutt/exim4/clamav/spamsassasin,
if I can get the folders to work.
I'd suggest checking your syslog and seeing what is in there.
You were right. There was no mention of procmail.
[I renamed ~/.forward to ~/.forward1 as it was not necessary.]
... so procmail was not being invoked.

If procmail is in fact being invoked as the LDA by your non-sendmail MTA
config, a .forward is redundant, and therefore undesired. You should
confirm what the LDA is set as in your exim setup.
/etc/exim/exim.conf gave me
# This transport is used for procmail
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
# check_string = "From "
# escape_string = ">From "
suffix = ""
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
# authenticate_hosts = smarthost.isp.com
Looking at /etc/exim4 I get
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='smtp.paradise.co.nz byname"'
dc_never_users='never_users = root'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='true'
Is this correct ? Should my dc_smarthost be
'smtp.paradise.co.nz byname"' ?

Frankly, I'm confused. I find I've got both /etc/exim and
/etc/exim4 in the file system. I assumed that apt-installing
exim4 would delete exim. I don't know where to look in exim4
files to find the LDA - but think procmail was set up to do so in exim.

But at this point, do you know that procmail is actually being invoked?
The answer would seem to be no at present.
>>FQDN: Tux
THAT still bothers me. An FQDN should incorporate a domain and a
TLD. "tux.paradise.net.nz" perhaps.
I have edited my /etc/hosts as below. I hope it works.
127.0.0.1 localhost
203.79.110.81 tux.paradise.net.nz loghost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
...............<snip>................................
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
~
"hosts" 22L, 424C
I hope you make more sense out of this than I did.
Cheers,
