Title: Manually enabling procmail for admin mail?
Post by: Bill Talcott on November 06, 2002, 11:44:43 PM

I have the User Manager panel installed and working great on my own mail account. However, I also have our admin account fetching emails from the mail account that our ISP provides. Is there any way to manually enable procmail on the admin mail account? http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=12264.msg46070#msg46070 states that "mail for admin needs to be forwarded to another user".

You need a .qmail file with the line "| /usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc" and the .procmailrc file in the home directory (/home/e-smith on mine).

I just noticed that this is templated too, though it seems to be done a little differently from regular ones. You should copy the /etc/e-smith/templates/home/e-smith/.qmail file to /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/e-smith/.qmail and change the $local_delivery value near the beginning to the "| /usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc" line to use procmail. If you don't use the templates, it'll be wiped out with a reboot, just like everything else.
