Re: procmail doesn't work
Don't know if it matters but my .procmail directory is chmod 700 and
my .procmailrc is chmod 600
What MTA are you using? I use postfix and I set it to use procmail by
default so I don't have to have a .forward file in the users home.
Before digging into the postfix or sendmail config files, you could
test it with a .forward file. Change drs to your
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #vlad"
chmod 660 .forward && chown vlad.vlad .forward
note: redhat/fedora "sendmail" uses procmail by default so there is no
need to use a .forward. If you use postfix, I can help you there but
I'm not sure about other mta's. I think qmail piped the message to
procmail from some file. In any case, you can use the .forward file
to test and see if it works.
