Please reply to the list.
Does that "/var/spool/mail/USERNAME" (or whatever it reports) exist?
Is it a symlink?
It's a symlink.
OK, I think I now understand (the limits of) your problem: You want
ORGMAIL to be a symlink, even when 'man procmail' says you can't. Is
that right?
And where it points to exists.
I suppose as a file (not a folder).
I also suppose that you know about the differences between
/etc/procmailrc (no dot) and $HOME/.procmailrc.
[/etc/procmailrc]
ORGMAIL = "$HOME/mbox_error"
DEFAULT = "$HOME/mbox"
DROPPRIVS = 'yes' # important!
LOGFILE = "$HOME/procmailrc.log"
Tried all that. No luck :(
Was the procmailrc.log created? What did it show? Did it also not work
with a default procmail-executable (and without the ORGMAIL-line)?
AFAIK a standard procmail can deliver to a symlink, so setting DEFAULT
in /etc/procmailrc should be sufficient to do what you want.
But you need to let ORGMAIL be a real file (or maildir-folder), for
example /var/spool/mail/USERNAME.
