Probably the permisions of your .procmailrc are wrong. They have to be "-rw-------", no r/w access for anybody but the owner. It is documented on the man page: Suspicious rcfile "x" The owner of the rcfile was not the recipient or root, the file was world writable, or the directory that contained it was world writable, or this was the default rcfile ($HOME/.procmailrc) and ei­ ther it was group writable or the directory that contained it was group writable (the rcfile was not used). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson El 02.09.29 a las 08:55, Alain Barthélemy escribió:

Hello,

I have some problem with Procmail (I use Postfix/Fetchmail/Procmail/Mutt).

Normally my /home/user/.procmailrc file is configured to distribute e-mails to different directories according to sender.

Yesterday it stopped distributing mails in different directories and all mails were sent to default mailbox /var/mail/user

I want to check .procmailrc with vi and I have error messages:

E297 erreur d'écriture dans le fichier swap. E297 writing error in swap file.

when I open the file

If I want to modify the file (instruction :wq in vi):

erreur d'écriture - système de fichier plein. writing error - filesystem full.

I remember I captured audio files (.wav files) before the problem occurred and I had a 220Mb large file in /home/user (/dev/hda9) directory. I deleted this file and the vi errors disappeared.

====

But Procmail keeps not distributing the files in the different directories like said in .procmailrc and the messages keeps being distributed in /var/mail/user (not in /home/user/Mail and MAILDIR=/home/alain/Mail in .procmailrc config file). The .procmailrc file has worked without problems till the problems occurred.

If I check /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn I have the messages:

Sep 28 23:16:21 portable procmail[1634]:suspiciousrcfile"/home/user/.procmailrc"

Can somebody tell me what is "suspicious" in my .procmailrc file?

It looks thus like the .procmailrc is not read correctly.

With fetchmail I have a /home/user/.forward file with instruction: |/usr/bin/procmail
