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

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

  I had this problem when I didn't lock the folder.  You have
  got answers from our friends, now, how to fix the folder?
  I used vi(1):  Open the file with vi; do nothing but exit with
  save (:w!).  Vi will drop all the extra NULL characters and fix
  the to-long-lines.

Hi Udi and people,

I don't understand what file I have to open and save with  vi..... maybe
.procmailrc or what ???

        The corrupted folder was /home/my_user/spam.  The "file" is
        the folder.


And other question: I use Sendmail and I nedd to know how can I know the
type of the folder (maildir o mbox).

        In maildir the messages are saved in directory; in mbox they
        are appended into one file.  If you write the name of the folder
        with "/" suffix (/home/my_user/spam/) your message will be saved
        separately under directory /home/my_user/spam.

Bye,
  Udi



By the other hand, I follow the recipe from one fellow, I delete the spam
folder, wait spams come to me, but the procmail didn't create the spam
folder.

Thanks , I'll be waitinf for your response to edit with vi.

Alejandro
