Re: BOGUS when using symlink for mbox

Nov 30 12:29:57 skg procmail[12590]: Renamed bogus
"/home/.sites/48/site10/.users/121/USERNAME/mbox" into
"/home/.sites/48/site10/.users/121/USERNAME/BOGUS.USERNAME.tm83"

I edited authenticate.c so it delivers to there...

Better edit that back then.

What does procmail -v report? The last line should say something like:

  Your system mailbox:    /var/spool/mail/USERNAME

Again:
Does that "/var/spool/mail/USERNAME" (or whatever it reports) exist? Is
it a symlink?


Create an /etc/procmailrc with only the line

  DEFAULT = "$HOME/mbox"

Test if that does what you originally wanted. If not, make it:

  ORGMAIL = "$HOME/mbox_error"
  DEFAULT = "$HOME/mbox"

and test if that works better.

You might want to add:

  DROPPRIVS = 'yes'  # important!
  LOGFILE   = "$HOME/procmailrc.log"

to have a logfile.


See procmail(1), look for BOGUS.

man procmail? I didn't see it??..

You should have it. Via google I found this one:

(Look for BOGUS in capitals.)
