As I said to the last poster in an unrelated thread: the first
thing to do is to read the fine man page. The second thing to
do might be to write this list.
As I have said before, i looked everywhere, I even read the man pages they
didn't make any sense to me, I couldn't find the problem.
Here are some telling excerpts from 'man procmail', which I
suggest you read more completely to get a good understanding
of what's happening. But the short version is, it's a file-
permission problem.
okay, i'll read them again.
9:35am [~/Mail] 534[0]> man procmail | grep -A3 -i bogus
man: Formatting manual page...
Renaming bogus "x" into "x"
The system mailbox of the recipient was
found to
be bogus, procmail performed evasive
actions.
What does it mean, 'found to be bogus'??? that isn't tell me what i'm
meant to do to fix it ...?
Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded/failed
A filter returned unsuccessfully, procmail
tried
--
bogus mailheaders). The regular expression that is used to search
for
these postmarks is:
`\nFrom '
--
If /var/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e., does not belong to
the
recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic link or is a hard link),
proc-
mail will upon startup try to rename it into a file starting with
`BO-
GUS.$LOGNAME.' and ending in an inode-sequence-code. If this turns
out
here is an output of my /var/spool/mail/ folder the permissions are right,
they are not links, what else would this be?
