Hello, I have a non-human user on a local server - behind a firewall. The
user cannot receive mail directly and the home directory is mounted off the
local server. I need this user to process received files, so I've done the
following:
/etc/aliases:
processor: ""|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -m
/etc/procmailrcs/processor.procmail"
My filter works fine for other local users (which can receive mail) and has
been tested...
but as a test I have:
/etc/procmailrcs/processor.procmail:
SHELL=/bin/sh
TESTDIR=${HOME}/test
MAILDIR=${TESTDIR}
LOGFILE=${TESTDIR}/Procmail.log
LOG="--- Logging for ${LOGNAME}, "
#Troubleshooting:
VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
:0
* ^Subject:.*RunTest*
{
LOG="RunTest "
:0:
| echo Test received at " `date` >> ${TESTDIR}/test_rcvd;
}
#Otherwise, discard the email message
:0
/dev/null
I get the following ERROR:
This is the mail system at host myhost.

With a similar .procmailrc file, I would receive this ERROR:
