Re: Configuration Question

Hi Dave,

   Thanks for the reply.

:-)

   I have actually made progress since then.   The reason why my reply 
confirmation messages were bouncing is that although I read about the 
issues with "-" and "+" in sendmail, I selected "-" which won't work.  
In order for the reply tagged confirmation message to reach procmail for 
further processing, I had to change the RECIPIENT_DELIMITER to "+".

By the way this is a SuSe 10.0 system.

   I now have tmda also filling out its proper log files, and whitelist 
properly.

   On to the next problem!!

:-)

   I have a global configuration I am using, so I am not using per user 
.tmda directories.   procmail is my deliver agent of choice and I 
haven't used procmail in about 8 years, so I am having issues 
remembering certain things.   Like for example, to deliver mail to a 
given user I have setup a procmail router-config file for tmda to call 
in /etc/procmail-tmda-router.

I set my delivery line as such in /etc/tmdarc:

DELIVERY = "|/usr/bin/procmail /etc/procmail-tmda-router"

My question is, at the moment here is my /etc/procmail-tmda-router, so far:

# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail  
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$USER
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail-router.log
SHELL=/bin/sh

Right now, procmail will not put the mail into the proper user file in 
/var/spool/mail, and instead puts these annoying little directories in 
my /var/spool/mail directory:

new cur tmp

Here is a cut from my procmail log file:

 From [email protected]  Mon Nov 20 14:23:09 2006
 Subject: Testing
  Folder: 
/var/spool/mail/new/1164054189.11050_0.smtp1                     1547

Any suggestion would be most appreciated.   Meanwhile I will continue my 
research.

Thanks!
