Re: How to make procmail create the spool dir in Maildir format?

2007-01-31 03:59:03
Hi Ruud and Dallman,
I'm doing some more test now, meanwhile, here is my config:

# /etc/procmailrc
# there is no /home/.procmailrc
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail/Maildir/$LOGNAME/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
LOGFILE=/tmp/procmail/$LOGNAME.log
# Just in case mail can't be delivered to users Maildir, spool it here:
ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail



The /tmp/procmail/user.log says:

procmail: Assigning "ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail/oliversl"
procmail: Assigning 
"PATH=/home/oliversl/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
procmail: Locking "..lock"
procmail: [4322] Tue Jan 30 23:52:28 2007
procmail: Error while writing to "_iDB.sRAwFB.mail.example.com"
procmail: Lock failure on "..lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=."
procmail: Opening "."
procmail: Error while writing to "."
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/oliversl"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/oliversl"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Notified comsat: "oliversl(_at_)10488:/var/spool/mail/oliversl"

 Subject: ping
  Folder: 
/var/spool/mail/oliversl                                         1051

The extrange part is that there is no mention of MAILDIR in the log.

Also, the directory:
/var/spool/mail/Maildir/$LOGNAME/
does not exists. Only /var/spool/mail/Maildir/ exists with mode 777

Thanks
Oliver

You should recompile procmail with DEFAULT set to "$HOME/Maildir/" .
A poor second alternative (kludge, really) is to put a line in
/etc/procmailrc such that:

   MAILDIR = $HOME/Maildir/
    

$MAILDIR should not end in a slash.


[/etc/procmailrc]

  MAILDIR = $HOME/Maildir


[~/.procmailrc]

  :0
  * ^List-
  .lists/

  :0
  ./


[alternative /etc/procmailrc]

  MAILDIR = $HOME/Maildir
  DEFAULT = $MAILDIR/
