exim and procmail?
David S. Jackson
to debian-user. Basically, the procmail log messages get echoed back
to the debian list server. I edited a line in /etc/exim.conf:
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = .forward
###modemask = 002
filter
...
After commenting modemask the error seems to go away. I only have one
user on the system right now (me).
My question is why should I have been getting this error in the first
place?

Any help gladly appreciated!

Something to check.
My /usr/bin/procmail permission got changed from
-rwsr-sr-x after a recent upgrade and my maillog
would indicate that it was sending bounce messages
back out.

A more elegant way of running procmail under Exim as an LDA is to
install the following transport and director in /etc/exim.conf:
The director:
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
user = ${local_part}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
from_hack
The transport:
procmail:
driver = localuser
require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc
transport = procmail_pipe

You should probably not invoke procmail via .forward, but directly as a local
transport.
Grep for procmail in /usr/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz and modify exim.conf
accordingly. This is how I do it and I don't have any probs with my setup.

I tried this, but I get:
Starting MTA: 1999-11-22 21:41:17 Exim configuration error
transport procmail: cannot find transport driver "localuser" in line 362

Jumping in on this thread late, and I have absolutely no clue what you guys
are talking about, but...
Is the localuser part supposed to be the username of someone who has a local
account?

No, it is a transport driver (for Exim).

You should have a director stanza (after the procmail director I
quoted) in your exim.conf that reads something like:
localuser:
driver = localuser
transport = local_delivery
Where the local_delivery transport looks something like:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
(The above is not the default stanza -- I've added several bits to it)

Yes, it must be above the localuser.
