After a lot of struggling and a lot of help, I managed to
get my messages to be written. However, they are written to
separate files now. What I want is to have messages written to
files like pflogsumm, postfix, mrtg etc. instead of separate
files.
Please show a sample recipe that is not doing what you want
and a sample verbose log extract.
Basically, if you write to an object that is a simple file,
it will be saved and stored as it sounds like you want -- as
an "mbox"-style folder. If you write to a directory,
it will save in separate files -- either saves under "legacy"
procmail-style directories where the files start with "msg."
and end with random unique strings, or (if you have appended
a slash to the end of the folder name) maildir-style folders,
or (if you've appended a slash-and-dot) MH-style folders.
"man procmailrc" explains the various choices and how to select
them or choose plain old mbox folders instead. As I just stated,
flat mbox-folders are just ordinary files. Use a lockfile (second
colon in the initial recipe line):
:0:
* condition
mbox-file_here
From the man pages:
If it is a directory, the mail will be delivered to a newly
created, guaranteed to be unique file named $MSGPREFIX* in the
specified direc- tory. If the mailbox name ends in "/.", then
this directory is pre- sumed to be an MH folder; i.e., procmail
will use the next number it finds available. If the mailbox name
ends in "/", then this directory is presumed to be a maildir
folder; i.e., procmail will deliver the message to a file in
a subdirectory named "tmp" and rename it to be inside a
subdirectory named "new". If the mailbox is specified to be an
MH folder or maildir folder, procmail will create the necessary
directories if they don't exist, rather than treat the mailbox
as a non-existent filename. When procmail is delivering to
directories, you can specify multiple directories to deliver to
(procmail will do so utilising hardlinks).
