Hi all,
First post! :)
Having a bit of a problem with the new method of mbox handling by procmail.
On my system, a users mbox may be a symlink; since I use OpenWebmail.
Works like this.
In ~username, you'll see
mail/saved-messages
mail/sent-messages (etc,etc)
mbox -> mail/saved-messages
With 3.15, a mail would come in, procmail would try and deliver it, mbox?
--> go to mail/saved-messages. Deliver there.
No problem.
There was a small patch for this. I tried to make it 3.15->3.22 compatible.
So just to give you an idea:

---------------------
Now, this does not work.
Still, the following happens:
Symlink exists.
Mail comes in.
Uh-oh! Symlink for an mbox file.
Move it to BOGUS.username.blabla, create a new mbox file.
Write mail to new mbox file.
Now, this is a problem for me since it renders OpenWebmail useless.
Does anyone have a clue what to do to take this option out? So it does not
check for symlinks, or at least allows them?
I would greatly appreciate any help!!
