Yes. Or save it to a neutral location with dir perms that enable
the user to save it there. Of course, then you'll have to look at
that specific file or dir instead of your $DEFAULT to find it.
Seems that permissions are an issue. This snippet is from the top of the
log generated from /etc/procmailrc:
procmail: [11949] Thu Mar 18 21:51:54 2004
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/rachel/Maildir/"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/etc/procmail/predelivery.rc"
procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"
procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes"
procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*Virus?"
procmail: Error while writing to
"/home/roland/Maildir/spam5plus/tmp/1079599914.11949_0.rrl03"
procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file
"/home/roland/Maildir/spam5plus/tmp/1079599914.11949_0.rrl03"
In this instance I was matching on Virus? as indicated as a test measure,
yet it seems it could not write directly to the users Maildir (I usually
use safecat to handle delivery, but it also had the same problem).
i.e mail sent to user rachel, trying to deliver to user roland direct from
the etc/procmailrc file.
My untrained eye thinks that the second line may mean that
privileges[D[D[D[D[D[[[3~[C[D[C[3~[D[D[3~[3~[3~[C[C[C[D[D[C[C[C[3~[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[D[3~[3~[3~[C[C[C[C[C[C[3~[C[C[C[C[D[D[D[D[[D[D[D[C[C[C[C
are
already dropped before we start.......so to speak. At this point a
DROPPRIVS=yes has not been reached in the etc/procmailrc file.
Some more background in case it is relevant. Mail is popped from my ISP
via getmail. getmail is run per user, and I use the command delivery
function to pipe directly to procmail from getmail.
Could it be that this causes the whole 'process' to run as the user and
therefore no prevleges as such exist?
Am I back to delivering to a neutral place do you (and the list) think?
Thanks for the pointers to date. Hope I have been clear enough.
