Ruud H.G. van Tol:
In the 'See also' of chmod(1) you'll find umask(2).
Thanks, but that man page is way above my head. Looks like setting up
fetchmail/procmail requires a lot more knowledge than I currently
have.
To use procmail, it is not necessary to know about umask. Are you only a
user or do you also set it up for other users?
Your question was about "set it to 600 every time". google: chmod umask
Or just create a test-directory somewhere, cd into it and type umask.
Then create some testfile with 'touch testfile', and check its
permissions. Then change the umask and create another file. You'll find
out soon enough what is does.
See also man procmailrc:
UMASK The name says it all (if it doesn't, then forget about this
one :-). Anything assigned to UMASK is taken as an octal
number. If not specified, the umask defaults to 077. If
the umask permits o+x, all the mailboxes procmail delivers
to directly will receive an o+x mode change. This can be
used to check if new mail arrived.
