Procmail Mark Unseen   Feb 18 19:36 UTC 2005

How do I use procmail on Grex?

I have a .procmailrc but it seems to be ignored, so I can only assume that
grex isn't using procmail as the delivery agent.

Procmail is called from your .forward.  Have you set that up?

Obviously not, or I wouldn't be asking this question =)  
What do I need to put in my .forward?

Sindi Keesan, who uses procmail extensively, has:

        |/usr/local/bin/procmail

I think the file has to be world-readable; hers is:

        -rw-r--r--  1 keesan  people  132 Dec 30 11:07 /a/k/e/keesan/.forward

Ah, I got it working:

My .forward is now:

| /usr/local/bin/procmail

My .procmailrc is now:

:0
* !^From:.*cyberspace.org.*$

Just like it says in the man page!

Yes, by Grex system policy, a .forward file must be world-readable to be
active.  (I ran into that once myself...)
