Re: Incorrect Resolution of $HOME Variable

2009-03-31 17:25:47
Placing "VERBOSE=ON" at the top of /etc/procmailrc confirms:

procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/user1/Maildir"
procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/home/user1/Maildir/"

where

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/

So in this case, procmail is resolving the value of the $HOME variable
correctly. It does not resolve correctly when executing 'procmail -v', and
obviously when procmail is trying to write to the Maildir it is having
some problem resolving $HOME, as well, as illustrated by the location of
the extra subdirectories noted in my earlier message.

i.e. Why would procmail create Maildir folders in /home/user/Maildir/user,
instead of just creating them in /home/user/Maildir?
