Yours truly is a novice when using procmail and would appreciate the
assistance of those more knowledgeable - thanks.
Although successfully using procmail in each system user's directory. I am
thus far failing in my attempt to setup a system-wide procmail that will
scan all mail prior to delivering to the individual user's procmail setup.
Each user can manage their own /home/userid/procmail/.generalrc file for any
additional screening of incoming mail that they desire.
I have the following in my /etc directory:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 8 09:50 procmail
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 2568 Dec 8 09:59 .procmailrc
I have my system procmail file mail setup as follows:
/etc/.procmail
The .procmail file contains:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PMDIR=/etc/procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
LOG=" "
LINEBUF=4096
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
VERBOSE=on
LOGABSTRACT=no
MAILDIR=/etc/procmail/mail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/${LOGNAME}
ADMINFOLDER=${DEFAULT}/admin.incoming
BULKFOLDER=${DEFAULT}/bulk.incoming
FORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/formail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/generalrc
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/mailinglistrc
My /etc/procmail directory contains:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 8 09:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 83 root root 8192 Dec 8 09:50 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160 Dec 8 09:49 autoreply.msg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Dec 8 09:49 autoreplyrc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 09:49 backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13795 Dec 8 09:53 generalrc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 8 10:18 mail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 391 Dec 8 09:49 refused.msg
The current all-system procmail setup in /etc does not process any incoming
mail. The individual user's /home/userid/procmail setup is processing each
message sent to the specific user.
If I have neglected to provide sufficient information, please advise and I
will do so.
