Is it really a tab on your system? Because what you show us
here is no tab, but a series of spaces.
All I see is space (or spaces) between two quotes. It is as received
from Ruud. Should I put something in ?
I've commented these out in 'adam-procmail.log'
I had hoped you'd just check to see if it's a tab, and if
it's not, to fix it. There's no reason to comment it out.
However, the system log keeps giving the same error message.
Thee is no user log 'adam-procmail.log' in /home/adam/Mail.
Logged in as adam, go to /home/adam/Mail and type
touch testfile
and look. Did it get created? This will test your ability
as user "adam" to write to that dir. (You can delete the file
now once you make it and look.)
If that doesn't work, permissions are the issue. If it does
work, it's something else.
adam(_at_)Tux:~/Mail02:46:32$ touch testfile
created 'te4stfile' in /home/adam/Mail
You are right. I've commented out the second copy, leaving one in
to be a bit conservative at the moment.
Since it's a second copy of identical code, why comment it out
as opposed to simply deleting it?
You can also save backups of old rcfiles for archival purposes
and delete cruft you decide you don't need from the working
copy.
I was being careful until the problems were resolved.
# sendmail program information (from procmail's $SENDMAIL):

/usr/sbin/sendmail
exim: malformed debug_selector setting: + or - expected

So are you ever going to fix this?
There is no file 'sendmail' in /usr/bin
It doesn't say above that it's in /usr/bin. It says it's
in /usr/sbin.
True, but 'vim /usr/sbin/sendmail' gives me

over the whole screen. What do you suggest.
/var/mail/adam
CAUTION: /var/mail/adam perms exceed 7755: curb back to 0640
So are you ever going to fix this?
/var/mail contain file 'adam' which is empty when opened by vi.
It doesn't matter if it's empty or not empty. It matters what
the file permissions are. I suggest you do what it says:
chmod 0640 /var/mail/adam
.. done that.
Cheers,
Adam.
