Re: Error filtering spam with Procmail

2005-10-31 10:37:17
OK, thanks for the clues...I'll see what to do.

My procmail version is  procmail-3.22-14 on Fedora Core 3.

Thanks and maybe I write again  if I have any other problem.

Alejandro

Dear people, I still have problems to read my spam folder as I told you

Mail system: sendmail + uw-imap + clamav + spamassassin + spamass-milter
+
procmail

please state the VERSION of procmail.

My .procmailrc file is this:

SHELL=/bin/bash   #bash is the shell used by root, is this OK ???

bash is a shell, it's just fine.  On many systems sh is actually bash...

None of the things you're presently using in your .procmailrc use the
shell
anyway, so this setting isn't significant at this time.

LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log

What does the logfile say about your problem?

:0:  # locking required !!!
*^Subject:.*\*\*SPAM\*\*
$HOME/spam

:0:
*^X-Spam-Flag:(.*\<)?Yes
$HOME/spam


/home/alejandro/spam is a file -rw------- equal to the others folder
files,
and the file type of my spam file:
# file spam
spam: MBX mail folder


This is the content of procmail.log:
From clamav(_at_)graba(_dot_)gov(_dot_)ar  Mon Oct 31 07:46:11 2005
Subject: Virus intercepted
Folder: /var/mail/alejandro

Presuming there's no spam-flag, this was probably filtered properly.


From wkibr(_at_)mail(_dot_)com  Mon Oct 31 08:45:00 2005
Subject: [**SPAM**] Colecciones Imperdibles.......
Folder: spam

Appears to have been filtered properly...

From brizuela(_at_)mixmail(_dot_)com  Mon Oct 31 09:05:42 2005
Subject: [**SPAM**] Acabrera, Adelgace Naturalmente
Folder: spam

filtered properly.

And this is the error:
SELECT failed: Unable to find CRLF at 4558 in 64 bytes, text: From
xcvevt(_at_)milic(_dot_)com(_dot_)ar  Sun Oct 30 01:12:37 2005

This error is coming from where?  "SELECT" isn't part of procmail - I even
grepped the source of 3.22 and it appears nowhere (other than within
comments, like "selectively").  This looks more like an error from your
mail reader - *OR* perhaps some other program, such as SA or ClamAV, which
might be complaining about a poorly formated source message.

As previously recommended by others, did you delete or move your prior
spam
mailbox?  The one you'd been writing to without proper locking, and thus
which may have had file corruption.

Do I need any other option specified in .procmailrc (like LOCKFILE or
wahetever) ????

As written, your .procmailrc looks fine.  Your mystery error message
appears to be from somewhere else.
