Title: Procmail issue at my location
Post by: Sylvain on August 21, 2003, 07:56:33 PM

Hello all,

I had to restore our mail server on a new machine. Install all the contribs I need and I'm getting into this issue with procmail

When I go enable procmail
user-manager -> Process mail -> enable procmail

I do not receive anymore emails

here is a tail of one receiving message from outside

tail -f /var/log/qmail/current

@400000003f44d9511f01204c info msg 8077675: bytes 1699 from qp 23773 uid 400

@400000003f44d9521ce218ac end msg 8077675

There a message procmail:_Couldn't_create_"/var/spool/mail/sylvain"/did_0+0+1/

There is nothing under /var/spol/mail on my server

What do I missing

Here is log files of user Procmail

Folder: /home/e-smith/files/users/sylvain/Mail/test/new/1061476679.2 1875
procmail: Closing brace unexpected
procmail: Closing brace unexpected

If I change the setting to receive email locally (not through procmail) I receive email

But I need procmail working :-0

Sylvain,

There is a syntax error in your .procmailrc.

If you haven't spotted the sytax error it's in the "# Spamassassin sort to ..."
section. The two closeing curly braces shouldn't be there.

Now this file is built from a templates in /etc/e-smith/templates-user/.procmailrc and the fragment that writes that section is 95saSort. Have a look in there, though I have a feeling that the bug may lie within the scripts that call the fragments as I had suprious "0" (zero) in generated .procmail files if the sort option was turned off. I cured it by adding in a comment that is sent to the file if the option is off.

One for smebugs I think...

Cheers
Dave.

Nope - it's a contrib package. We don't make use of procmail
in any of our releases - it's installed, but unused.

Please contact the authors, or the devinfo list.
