Aha, this is helpful -- I think. When I run "cat test.mbox | procmail -m e:/.procmailrc", I get: | procmail: [1432] Wed Oct 23 11:00:53 2002 | procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all" | procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/tbaker/uc" | procmail: Couldn't chdir to "/home/tbaker/uc" | procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=." | procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/home/tbaker/u/procmail" | procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=./MBOX2" | procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log" | procmail: Opening "/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log" | procmail: Error while writing to "/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log" | procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*TEST" | procmail: Locking "TEST.lock" | procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=TEST" | procmail: Opening "TEST" | procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock | procmail: Unlocking "TEST.lock" | From tbaker Wed Oct 23 10:44:40 2002 | Subject: TEST | Folder: TEST 958 ..even though "echo $HOME" in a Bash window confirms that $HOME is "/cygdrive/e". So I edited .procmailrc, changing | MAILDIR=$HOME/uc | PMDIR=$HOME/u/procmail to | MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc | PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail And running "cat test.mbox | procmail -m e:/.procmailrc" again, I got: | procmail: [2044] Wed Oct 23 11:12:28 2002 | procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all" | procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc" | procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail" | procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/cygdrive/e/uc/MBOX2" | procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log" | procmail: Opening "/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log" ..and the procmail.log showed everything as it should. However, incoming messages are still not directed to files as called for in the recipes...
