hi,
dear udi, thank's for your friendly answer, maybe the question are
the problem of the badest syntax form path to file and lock and not
become a ( cookbook??? grr ) recipe to season procmail
( wiht vinegar & oil ) ... ;)
the "cookbooks" for procmail are many and suffisement explicit ...
but what think the author by writing with this syntax :
"!home!rgooch!mail!filtered!slow!list-spam"
for me that's resemble of a prehistoric syntax " UUCP like "
or a humorous kangaroo syntax ...
the orginal file are present at this URL :
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/mail-filter/spam-filter.tgz
The "!" reminded me the old UUCP too :-) Also, the "!" has meaning
in the SHELL syntax. More thing that I didn't like is using "|" as
part of the fileanme in config, forexample:
DUPLICATELOCK=/var/lib/emacs/lock/!home!rgooch!mail!filtered!slow|duplicate
` ` ` ` ` ^
It can cause problems; or the script is so sophisticated that I
didn't understand what the author means.
And, the lock-file are not in same directory with the file - not
MUST but better.
I would change the "!" and "|" to "_" or as I wrote before, omit
the filename.
Bye,
Udi
