Re: [tlug] Help With Mutt/Procmail/Fetchmail Configuration

[s4565@example.com]

THanks for any replies anyone may have sent.  But I managed to ensure
that all my email got lost for the last 2 hours via a bad configuration
of procmail, I had in my .forward file


"/IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #antony"

When I removed this file, I started to get my mail back. The error
which appeared in my /var/log/mail file was

May  9 23:38:09 ringo sendmail[1922]: g49Dc5m01921: g49Dc9m01922: DSN: /home/antony/.forward: line 1: "/IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #antony"... Address <antony@example.com> is unsafe for mailing to files

The contents of my .procmailrc file are

---------------Start procmailrc----------------

MAILDIR=/home/antony/muttMail
LOGFILE=/home/antony/logs/procmail
VERBOSE=on

# ----- mailbox filtering -----

:0:

----------End procmailrc--------------------
