Hi List

I have installed ASK and I obtain an error where the file
ASK-FATAL-ERROR.xxxx is generated in the home directory.

I have tested two versions 2.4.1 and 2.5.2 and the result is the same on
both.

The file contains the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ask.py", line 65, in ?
    config = askconfig.AskConfig(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/ask/askconfig.py", line 65, in __init__
    self.__cmdline(argv)
  File "/usr/lib/ask/askconfig.py", line 361, in __cmdline
    sys.exit(1)
SystemExit: 1

There in no log file

I looked for in the List for an error like this and I found some similar
and talking about a sintax error in askrc. I checked my sintax and I don't see
something wrong.

I have intalled python 2.2.3, sendmail 8.12.10 and procmail 3.22. I have
tested with procmail and with forward. When I use the second one the files
ASK-FATAL are not generated but in maillog I see the same error.

My .askrc is:

rc_mymails    = [email protected]
rc_myfullname = German Gonzalez
rc_mymailbox = /var/spool/mail/german
rc_mailkey   = pruebas
rc_md5_key = maspruebas
rc_remote_cmd_enabled = on
rc_remote_cmd_htmlmail = off
#rc_remote_cmd_max_age = 10
rc_basic_headers = From:,To:,Cc:,Bcc:,Date:,Subject:
rc_askdir = ${HOME}/.ask
rc_msgdir = %(rc_askdir)s/queue
rc_tmpdir = %(rc_askdir)s/tmp
rc_confirm_dirs = %(rc_askdir)s/templates
rc_blacklist_dirs = %(rc_askdir)s/templates
rc_whitelist_on_mailkey = true
rc_confirm_langs = en, es
rc_blacklist_langs = en, es
#rc_confirm_mailbody   = %(rc_askdir)s/templates/confirm_mailbody.txt
#rc_blacklist_mailbody  = %(rc_askdir)s/templates/confirm_mailbody.txt
rc_whitelist  = %(rc_askdir)s/whitelist.txt, %(rc_askdir)s/whitelist-local.txt
rc_blacklist  = %(rc_askdir)s/blacklist.txt, %(rc_askdir)s/blacklist-local.txt
rc_ignorelist = %(rc_askdir)s/ignorelist.txt, %(rc_askdir)s/ignorelist-local.txt
rc_mta_command = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t < MAILFILE
rc_max_attach_lines = 50

I have the following files in ask directory:

blacklist.txt  ignorelist.txt  whitelist.txt

And the following directories

queue  templates  tmp

template has blacklist and confirm in spanish and english.

When I use procmail I use:

:0fw
 | /usr/bin/ask.py --log-level=5 --logfile=/home/german/ask.log --procmail--home=/home/german


If I use forward:

:0fw
 | /usr/bin/ask.py --log-level=5 --logfile=/home/german/ask.log --home=/home/german


Can somebody tell me where I'm wrong?

Thanks in advanced
