Currently, mail filtering works for me. I'm using: * procmail (any version works). * fetchmail (latest version from bo, 2.6-1). * I don't need sendmail (in fact, I don't have it currently installed). I do *exactly* the following: This is my script "pop.sandra", used to fetch mail from my ISP's mail server (called "sandra.ctv.es"). I run this script from a normal user called "sanvila" on my machine (which is the "normal" user uid 1000 :-). *---------------------------cut---------------------- #!/bin/sh fetchmail -a sandra.ctv.es -m "$HOME/bin/procesa.pop" *---------------------------------------------------- Normally fetchmail delivers directly to port 25, but I still prefer to deliver to this "procesa.pop" script, using fetchmail's -m option. This script is like this: *---------------------cut------ #!/bin/sh formail -Y -s procmail *---------------------cut------ (I usually removed "Received: " fields here, but now I do that from within the .procmail file itself). and my .fetchmailrc is like this: *------------------------cut and modify to suit your needs---------- server sandra.ctv.es protocol pop3 password my.password *------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that's all. Well, this was only the first part. The second part, of course, is to write a suitable ~/.procmailrc file. For debian lists filtering I like to use the Resent-Sender fields, like this: :0: * ^Resent-Sender.*debian-user-request@ debian-user (This is to be added to your current .procmailrc). You can check wether your .procmail works or not by doing: cat mbox-type-file-with-several-messages | formail -s procmail. This will "recycle" the "mbox" file, as it would have been just received. Hope this helps.
