hello,

following up from my message yesterday, I thought I would note a couple of observations concerning mail and SUSE 7.1PPC.

The version of fetchmail included has a bug that produces an error saying that the command "AUTH" is not recognised (or something similar). I looked around on the web and this is a known bug in fetchmail. I am now using the latest stable version and all is well again. The buggy version works fine by the way, it just produces the error.

I solved my procmail problem by shifting the .procmailrc file into /etc instead of my home folder. I've no idea why that makes any difference but it works for me as I'm the only user on this machine. Any ideas on why this should be so are very welcome.

Can you be more specific about that bug, send config files and logfiles etc? I will forward it to the package maintainer.

I see no special updates for you on our ftp server.

I assume you are referring to the Fetchmail bug? If so, then it is a known bug that the SUSE developers should be aware of. No problem with SUSE specific packages, but with the general fetchmail source. It was a while ago now, but I did a google search and found out about the bug immediately. A simple upgrade to the latest version fixed it. the thing I still haven't resolved is why since upgrading to SUSE 7.1, I haven't been able to put a .procmailrc in my home folder and have it work. I get kernel messages about there being a suspicious procmailrc file. Having it in /etc is fine but it still doesn't pick up everything as well as the 7.0 installation did.

Can you post the error messages?

Here is my console output: May 10 22:09:19 May 12 00:47:13 linux procmail[20837]: Suspicious rcfile "/home/joss/.procmailrc" This is the same file that worked in SUSE 7.0 and is basically a simple adaptation of the example files that come with procmail. It is ineffective when I put it in my home folder and produces the above output. -- http://www.josswinn.org/humour.html
