Running procmail v3.22 2001/09/10 on ubuntu 8.04. The following
recipe has been unchanged and working well since I ran RedHat 7.3
(yeah, *that* long) until yesterday.

               :0 c
               /home/holtzm/mail/backup

               :0 ic
               | cd /home/holtzm/mail && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* |
sed -e

As of now it no longer delivers any copies to my backup file, even
tho I have received 600+ emails in the last day or two. As an
experiment I tried

               :0 c:
               /home/holtzm/mail/backup

which didn't work either. What completely snows me is why after
working all these years, would it suddenly give up the ghost.

Any help, pointers, suggestions appreciated.

Show us a verbose log.

- do you have a file called mail?
- has your username changed? (use $HOME in stead of /home/holtzm, and
set MAILDIR to $HOME/mail)

  SHELL   = /usr/bin
  VERBOSE = on
  MAILDIR = "$HOME/mail"
  LOG     = "$_.log"

  :0 c
  backup

  :0 ic
  | cd $MAILDIR && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* |sed -e

That last line is *missing a backquote*.

I this about a personal .procmailrc? Is the code you showed really all
that is in there?
