Topic: Procmail error (SME 6.0 final)?

[Sjef van Gool]

I installed e-smith-userpanel-1.6.0-2.noarch.rpm which runs fine ..... except when I try to forward mail, that generates:

:0
* ^.*contribs.org
{
   :0 c
   $MAILDIR/;Fora/
   
   :0
   ! ;test@hotmail.com
}

You see the ";" before test@, well it stays there! Which generates mail errors.
How do I get rid of that ";" ?

Thanks, Sjef.

In fact, the title should be: User panel error (SME 6.0 final)?

Sjef,

I can reproduce the same problem here.
I would recommend to email the author of this contrib at support

• dungog.net since he might not always read this forum.

Sjef,

any luck/progress with that?

I am not a programmer so my workaround is not "elegant" but seems to do it for the moment...

In file /etc/e-smith/templates-user/.procmailrc/40user:

...
   elsif ($action2 eq 'forward')
        {
          # to an email
          $deliver2 = substr($deliver2,1); <--LINE ADDED
          $deliver2 = "! "."$deliver2";
....

You need to change this in 2 places in that template!
Please try and let us know.

Regards,
Michael

MDO,

Thanks for that!

No I didn't make any progress (and it was low on my priority list).
I already decided if I needed it again I could switch into procmail editing mode by the userpanel.
I didn't do that because then I would loose all my procmail userpanel settings.

I'm gonna try your solution this evening.

Thanks again, Sjef.

'2 Places': I found only one place that fits your description.
Can you give more detail?

Sjef.

Sjef,

that's currently the template here:
....  snip ....
       # to a folder
          $deliver = "\$MAILDIR/"."$deliver"."/";
        }
        elsif ($action eq 'forward')
        {
          # to an email
          $deliver = substr($deliver,1); <--ADDED
          $deliver = "! "."$deliver";
        }
        elsif ($action eq 'delete')
        {
          # delete it
          $deliver = '/dev/null';
        }
        else
        {
          # freeform
          $deliver = "$deliver";
        }

        ## construct the 2nd deliver line
        if ($action2 eq 'sort')
        {
          # to a folder
          $deliver2 = "\$MAILDIR/"."$deliver2"."/";
        }
        elsif ($action2 eq 'forward')
        {
          # to an email
          $deliver2 = substr($deliver2,1);  <--ADDED
          $deliver2 = "! "."$deliver2";
        }

        ## construct the rule
..... snip .....
