Mail to adam's mail folder is still bouncing. I want to see an experiment
with something -- anything -- written to it by procmail.
# NL = '
#'
# contains only a literal newline
# SPACE = ' ' # contains only a literal space
# TAB = ' ' # contains only a literal tab
# WSP = "$SPACE$TAB"
# OR = '9876543210^0'
Take out the comments, and make sure the NL close-quote on the second line
is left-justified at the margin. That's all I ever meant. Oh, and
make sure taht's a tab char in that whitespace and not spaces.
LOG = "${NL}$$ $_ u:${LOGNAME} h:${HOME} m:${MAILDIR}
d:${DEFAULT}${NL}"
VERBOSE = 'yes'
Turn on VERBOSE up at the top of the .procmailrc, so we can see its
action; not down below when the party's over. :)
Here's my experiment I want you to try from the shell prompt. First, save any
email message to a file called "message". No type the following, including the
"<" as well; it's part of the two-line command.
< message \
procmail DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/.Inbox/ VERBOSE=y
LOGFILE=$HOME/Mail/adam-procmail.log /dev/null
See if the log is there and see if the message is in your inbox.
If that works, then try taking out of your .procmailrc
"DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/.Inbox/" and putting in the above syntax for $DEFAULT
instead.
