I don't understand a thing it does.. but I put it in my home directory anyway and called it .forward.
It appears the procmail is no 'firing' when message come. Looking for any pointers? been through to procmail faq sites and thought there might be a recommendation here.
Do you have a ~/.procmailrc file? If so, what is it?
contents of .forward "|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #Metropolis"
'Metropolis' is the name of the account. Any pointers?
Is procmail installed at /usr/local/bin/procmail? (Sorry had to ask)
If so, then you need a .procmailrc file.
It can be as simple as this:
# Edit as appropriate PATH=/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin SHELL=/bin/sh # DIRECTORY where you want to store mail # MAKE SURE IT EXISTS MAILDIR=$HOME/mail LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log VERBOSE=yes # Change to 'no' once you have it working LOGABSTRACT=all
:0c: Backups
# EOF
All that will do is make a backup COPY (hence the ":0c:") of all your incoming mail. It's an easy way to test to make sure procmail is working... that, and see if there is anything in the log file.
