Hi,

I am running sendmail as a MTA, fetchmail as a retriever and Procmail for
local delivery. Clients connect via POP3 to get their mail.

All the logs appear to show that all is normal (mail flows quit nicely). I
implemented recipes for procmail but they don't seem to do anything. The
procmail log file mentions that it is using the recipe file that I created
but does not act on anything. Verbose logging is turned on and all I see is:
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/ted.lock"
From j...@no-domain.net Fri Jun 15 08:14:05 2001
Subject: test
Folder: /var/spool/mail/ted
1351
procmail: Notified comsat: "jay@549:/var/spool/mail/ted"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDEC=/var/mail/procmail/rc.mail"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDEC=/var/mail/procmail/testing.rc"
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/ted.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/ted"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/ted"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/ted.lock"


My rc.mail recipe file should have directed this message to a "quorantine"
directory instead of delivering it to user ted because it contained "test"
in the Subject position.

Any thoughts ... I have tried many different recipes.. none work.

Thank you.

Try changing INCLUDEC to INCLUDERC and see what happens. man procmailex.
