Insufficient Privlegies

2006-05-28 13:58:59
Hi - I am new to using Procmail. I have a Postfix server running and I want 
to use Procmail to do mail-filtering through Spamassassin. The version of 
Procmail I am running is 3.22. I have that running correctly but I keep 
getting insufficient privileges when trying to send to all recipients but 
myself.

I have set Postfix main.conf to:
  mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
  mailbox_transport = procmail

I have tried a number of settings in Postfix master.cf. Here is what I am 
currently using:
procmail  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
flags=R user=jbinder argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m /etc/procmailrc $(sender) 
${recipient} ${user}

My /etc/procmailrc is:
SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail # this can be deleted after testing
VERBOSE=yes
DROPPRIVS=yes
USER=$3
HOME=/Users/$USER
RECIPEINT=$2


:0fiw
| spamc  # call Spamassassin

# INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmailrc   allow users to create their own recipes

:0
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
/dev/null
#trash all messages with a very high spam score

INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmailrc  # allow users to create their own recipes


I realize that with the -m variable DROPPRIVS does not work.

The $HOME/.procmailrc files is:
SHELL=/bin/sh
DROPPRIVS=yes
LOGFILE=/Users/coleen/mail.log
VERBOSE=yes
USER=coleen

:0:
 *$^TO_${recipient}
  /var/mail/$USER

The log shows:
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/coleen"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/coleen"

The permissions on the file coleen are:
-rw-------   1 coleen   mail  33592 May 28 13:34 coleen
which are pretty typical for mail files.

My suspision is that procmail is trying to write to coleen as jbinder. What 
am I setting up incorrectly. Thanks in advance.
