Procmail/Formail Problem On 6.3

0
0

Hi!

In the process of making mysystem work again, having just done a reinstall of 6.3 x86_64.

I have a considerable collection of procmail recipes for filtering mail in various ways, and since the upgrade none of ‘em is working.

procmail passes every mail thru spambayes, which gives back a rating on spamminess. this happens, so it’s not as if procmail is simply punting.

that is followed by tests for which mailbox it should go into, depending on the mailing list, or otherwise who it’s from.

these ARE NOT working.

these recipes all use formail to append a header identifying the mail folder Procmail decided to use, and then the mail is appended to the mailbox.

This has been working without problem for YEARS.

but now, it all ends up in my main mailbox, where only those things that fail all the filters are supposed to go. aparently all the filters are failing.

each filter is akin to this one:

:0:
* ^X-BeenThere: CentOS@CentOS.org
| $FORMAIL -A”X-procmail: CentOS-users” >>$HOME/Mail/CentOS


which checks to see if it came from the CentOS mailing list, and if so should append a X”-Procmail: CentOS-users” header then append the mail to $HOME/Mail/CentOS. Only it doesn’t append the header, and it doesn’t drop the mail in the CentOS mailbox.

anyone out there got a clue?

thanks!

Fred
