I once had my email working nicely, but over the last few years the setup has decayed. I am now running wheezy with fetchmail to get email from my ISP, exim4 to send outgoing email to my ISP, and do other things locally, and procmail running in my $home. I have no interest in setting up system-wide (i.e. several users) mail delivery since I am the only user of email here. I have been keeping the same .procmailrc file from well before the transition from exim3 to exim4, making ad hoc kludge changes only when absolutely forced to, and largely without a clue as to what I was doing.
I once had spamassassin working, but for a long while it has not been working. Certainly there has been no evidence of it working since I installed xfce under wheezy. Today I noticed in my .procmailrc the following line, which is left over from long ago: PATH=/usr/local/nmh/lib:/usr/local/nmh/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin This line is there for the benefit of the scripting that inplements the recipes that follow. But this is wrong for my wheezy!!! In particular, everything in /usr was put there by installing wheezy with a squeeze business-card CD followed by debian package installs using aptitude pointing to ftp.us.debian.org/debian/. Aptitude says that the package nmh is installed. But there is no directory /usr/local/nmh/ on the computer. Sometime in the past the organization of Debian /usr transitioned from having that directory to not have it. It's been long enough that it may have gone thru several transitions while I was confused and inattentive (because of poor access to emails, perhaps) Anyway, I think I need a PATH statement that is appropriate for Debian wheezy before I can do any meaningful debugging. Can someone who is running a single user Wheezy system using single user .procmailrc and spamassassin (or spamc/spamd) please post a copy of the PATH statement is a working setup? As an added goody, please tell me where you got the information. Did it get installed automagically by a Debian package? Or what?
