I haed a problem for a while with procmail, during which time I lost
some messages. I assume that when procmail refuses procmailrc it
doesn't just lose the message, but what does it do with them?
providing they have matched *no* procmail recipie, if you have set
$DEFAULT, that is where they will be. If not they will be where they
would have gone if there was no procmail, probably
/var/spool/mail/{USER}
Thanks for replying. I'm not sure just what happened, Patrick. I had
accidentally messed up permissions, and I found the message
regarding 'suspicious procmailrc'. No messages were delivered. I have
already checked MAILDIR (my $DEFAULT) and /var/spool/mail/anne.
I don't *think* I have lost anything too drastic, but there certainly should
have been logwatch reports and cron reports, none of which have been found.
