Procmail rules
am 18.08.2005 07:56:20 von Jenda Mudron
Hi
I have some certain rules that procmail must do, It works, but seems to skip
some e-mail.
I need procmail to apply the rules and changes to all the e-mails.
How do I achieve this ?

Thank You

The crack, mind-reading procmail team is on
Summer holiday at this time.
But, you could re-post -- showing the rest
of us your recipe(s) and your VERBOSE=YES.

Jenda,
You would need to post what your recipes are and what you are trying to
achieve.
Enable verbose loging:
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=filename
#recipes
After you receive an email, consult the LOGFILE and see what happened to
a message when it went through your recipes.
Without seeing what procmail is supposed to do, I am in no position to
recommend alterations or confirm its functionality.

2. Building a testbench. How can I test individual procmail recipes?

Well, you could post the recipes, a copy of the verbose log showing where
it skipped and a copy of the email it skipped. Then we will be able to
see what you are doing wrong.

Alan,
The preceeding response was witty, yours is not.
Jenda asked a question. I doubt the person wishes to have this thread
turned into a flame war.
I appeal to the adults to hold off their response.

I am absolutely certain that the number of people who wonder about Beavis's
posting habits is the same number of people who've managed to set foot on
Mars, to this date.
> 12,800 posts in the last year. 35 posts a day, on AVERAGE.
Here's a classical example of why you're such a stupid Beavis:
Searched all groups =09 Results 1 - 10 of 94 from Aug 18, 2004 to Aug 18, =
2005 for author:aktrader2@excite.com. (0.10 seconds)
It's 94 posts, Beavis, not 12,800.
Did you even try a Google query, you idjit, or just ran a random number
generator?
> And I'd bet my right arm that he posts under more than one

And I'll bet a cup of coffee for Bigfoot that you're about to announce that
you did not read this post, but now that I made that prediction you're going=
to drive yourself bonkers trying to figure out whether you should, or
shouldn't.
But this marvelous Beavis kookfart gives me the golden opportunity to
announce that a lost track has been found in a dusty corner on Abbey Road.
Presentingâ=A6
ALL HIS BLATHER
(To the tune of Beatles' "All My Loving")
Post a message, we'll start laughing,
At Beavis's latest rantings,
We know in advance that it's crap.
And while we all are in pain,
From all that laughing, again,
We wish that someone give him a slap.
All his blather,
Never proves to be true,
All his nonsense,
It's nothing but spew.
[ Interlude ]
And when he's finished with his kookfart,
To Bigfoot's he'll depart,
Because he says Bigfoot's his friend.
And then while he's away
For two weeks, we will pray
That he'll never will have a girlfriend.
All his blather,
Never proves to be true,
All his nonsense,
It's nothing but spew.

Thank everybody for your responses.
I have done what you told me to do, and I get the following error in the
logs.
procmail: Error while writing to "formail -r -x "To:" | sed 's/ //g' # |
cut -d "@" -f1
procmail: Error while writing to " echo "$HOME" | cut -d "/" -f3"
ect.......
Now this is very new to me and do not have a clue how to fix this, I don't
even know what this means.
It is not for all the e-mail only some, and I can not find out what is
common in them that courses this to happen.

Well there are indeed (more than) 12,800 '"AK's" posts'! So he
confused a 'nick'/'screen-name'/'alias' with an e-mail address and you
are going to hold *that* against him? They are both in the From: line,
aren't they? No need to nitpick!
BTW, in the same period "Sam" posted 126,000 times, so cut it out,
will you!?

OOPS! Sorry about that! Apparently I didn't qualify. :-( My 'excuse'
is AC's incorrect (non-)followup method, but it's a rather feeble one,
because I should have seen it coming.

Well, Beavis does claim to be a big expert on these kinds of things.
