 Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 3:34 am Post subject: .procmailrc help needed |
 |
|
I have a POP mail account on a hosted domain (CSoft, FWIW) that's been completely overrun with spam. I've been running POPfile locally, but over a dialup connection I still need to download 1000 mails every day so I'd like to apply a server-side solution.
I set up Procmail using these instructions and wrote a .procmailrc attached below. Nothing seems to be happening, though. The ~/Mailbox file still seems to get everything and the spam files aren't being written. Any idea what I might have wrong? Or how to debug this? I don't see any log or error files being created.
Advice greatly appreciated -- thanks!!

Assuming you set up the .qmail file as directed then procmail should be running on delivery.
Try setting the VERBOSE flag to yes and looking at the log file you've asked it to write.
