 Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 4:51 am Post subject: Setting Fetchmail -a -m procmail as a Cron ?? |
 |
|
I placed this line in my crontab yet it doesnt seem to work.
| Code: |
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -m /usr/bin/procmail
|
I then did this
| Code: |
crontab /etc/crontab
|
is there any other way I can set fetch mail to get the email and use procmail to deliver it via a cron ?? |

This is what i have in my .fetchmailrc which uses procmail to deliver the goods so to speak. I also have a crontab created for my user.
| Code: | | */10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail > /dev/null 2>&1 |
| Code: | poll dev.gentoo.org proto pop3
user insert_user_here pass "insert_pass_here" nokeep ssl
mda "/usr/bin/formail -ds procmail |
Hope this helps.

Thanks that took care of it.
I had just left procmail out of my .fetchmailrc file.
Thanks again.
