Hi all,
I am most confused, after reading the procmail docs, and mutt related
docs and newbie stuff on the web.
The story is like this. I set up procmail to sort mail to various
folders, but the mail all arrives in the Inbox.
my first problem is conceptual:
I write a recipe in procmail an email arrives and goes to where?
in my old email client (evolution), it arrived in my inbox I right clicked on
the
email and choose create a filer from the mail then I choose for list
or from or cc or whatever and viola I had a filter,so;
conceptually the manner of filtering (in my mind) is that the mail
first comes to the inbox and then evolution moves it to the place I
want.
I think that with procmail the idea is that the mail is taken from the
server and run through procmail/spamassasin and this sorts the mail
into its right folder: procmail to the defined folders by recipe and
spamassassin to the garbage heap.
If so then my mutt setup should have no effect on the filtering of
mail? Then why is all my mail coming to the inbox?
maybe the problem is that procmail isn't being accessed? how do I
check this (running debian)
here is my .procmailrc
