I have fetchmail delivering to /var/spool/mail/username, invoking bogofilter as it goes ( thus adding X-bogosity headers to mail ).
My mailer software ( mew under emacs ) should then be able ( via a utility called incm [part of the mew package] ) to transfer mail to ~/Mail/inbox.
This is not working.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Why dont you deliver the mails with procmail to ~/Mail/inbox when you invoke it anyway?
:0 $HOME/Mail/inbox
at the end of ~/.procmailrc
Henne
My mailer software ( mew under emacs ) somehow will not recognise messages delivered directly to ~/Mail/inbox - I tried that.
is Mail/inbox NFS mounted ?
No
If so, are the 2 clocks in sync ?
n/a
mew should be able to see that the timestamp on Mail/inbox is newer and react onthat. If that is happening and mew does not see it it's a bug in mew.
maybe that is the answer -- shall look further into internals of mew / incm Mew will pull pop3 directly into ~/Mail/inbox - my reason for the fetchmail/procmail route is to apply bogofilter on the way in as it were. Thanks for the help F
