Hi, here's a newbie using fetchmail, procmail and mutt on my winxp box
with the current cygwin environment. My cygwin is rooted at c:/ and my
HOME is at c:/docs.
I want to start with a simple .procmailrc but it does not work as I
expected and I do not find why.
# start of .procmailrc
SHELL=/bin/sh.exe
PATH=/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mutt
PMDIR=$HOME/procmail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/00inbox
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/procmail.log
:0:
$DEFAULT
# Timestamp: <.procmailrc Thu 2004/05/20 20:32:37 WODAN>
# end of ~/.procmailrc
# start of .fetchmailrc
set logfile /tmp/fetchmail.log
set invisible # suppress "Received:" line fetchmail adds
set no bouncemail
poll "127.0.0.1"
protocol pop3
username "a091498"
password "g1b0d1ug"
nokeep # delete successfully received messages
mda "/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA
# Timestamp: <.fetchmailrc Thu 2004/05/20 20:34:34 WODAN>
# end of ~/.fetchmailrc
Output of procmail -v:
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10

Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
Your system mailbox: /var/spool/mail/guivho
I am fetching email from the command line by issueing 'fetchmail -v'.
It gets my email, but procmail stuffs everything into /var/spool/mail/guivho
The MAILDIR directory exists and is writable.
Neither fetchmail nor procmail create a log about their activity.
This seems so basic that I'm pretty sure that I'm missing something
really simple and straightforward.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
