Topic: procmail: Unknown user "postmaster"

[Michael Herger]

I've had a severe crash with a corrupted file system. After two days of tweaking and restoring almost everything seems to be fine again.

But fetchmail only returns the message "procmail: Unknown user "postmaster"" for every single message that's in my (external) account. Interestingly this error message is correctly sent to the internal user which is to receive messages adressed to admin.

Where can I find the global procmail configuration or any other possibly corrupted config file used by qmail/fetchmail/procmail? /etc/fetchmail is imho correct.

I'm running SME6b3, all patches installed, using multidrop and the user-panel contrib.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Additional information: in /etc/fetchmail I changed the postmaster from "postmaster@mydomain.com" to "admin@mydomain.com". I didn't get the "Unknown user" any more for all those messages sent from maillist. But the did not arrive in the admin's mailbox either. Those messages sent to my address directly (no mailings) still are on my ISP's pop3 server.

Where have all those messages gone?!?

I'm starting a new thread as I've found what the problem might have been.
