Just a question you have a copy of the .procmailrc and rc.conf right?
Why do you think it is, that the bulk folder is the only one that spam
bouncer does not create. Once i create it using mozilla it seems to
work fine other than spitting out the error every time. All other
folders are fine ie created properly and no errors in the logs maybe i
should consider it a blessing or clever scripting on Catherine's part.
I did a search on both the .procmailrc and sb.rc there is only one
instance of the >> string found so i changed it like u suggest below
that should be it right?? what about all the other rule sets that
spambouncer uses????
Ok i have tested your new rule and procmail seems to hang for a bit them
gives me a lock error i do not need to lock with maildir depot right?
:0 instead of :0: what is the fh and a: stuff all about here is the
output of the pmlog. The folder was created and the message placed
inside that is good but how reliable and why the delay?
procmail: Skipped ""From" lines to make sure they are valid"
ls: msg.*: No such file or directory

Thank you for your help i have attached my .procmailrc file which points
to sb.rc the .Procmail file i have a pretty good grasp on but the sb.rc
seems a little overwhelming maybe you can figure out what it is trying
to do with the SB-Bulk folder and why i get those errors.
Aha.
Things would have gone a lot better if you'd explained in the first
place that you are using spambouncer. For one thing, the author of
spambouncer lurks here sometimes and might have chimed in.
However, the real problem you're having is the spambouncer does not
support Maildir format folders. It wants to write to a flat file
folder in old-fashioned unix mailbox format.
This actually could be avoided; I haven't looked at spambouncer in a
long time, but the clue to the failure is here:
Folder: ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: Bulk" >>${BULKFOLDER} 2561
Here, spambouncer is trying in a single line to add a header to the
message and write the
result out to the $BULKFOLDER. See the ">>" ? That's I/O
redirection, which uses the shell and entirely bypasses procmail's
rules for what kind of folder to create based on the presence of
slashes in the name.
If you replace this rule in spambouncer:
:0:
| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: Bulk" >>${BULKFOLDER}
With:
:0 fh
| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Folder: Bulk"
:0 a:
${BULKFOLDER}
Then it should work. But you'll have to search through the entire
spambouncer script to find all places where Catherine may have used "|
${FORMAIL} ... >> ${SOMEFOLDER}" and replace all of them with a
similar fix.
