Currently, mail filtering works for me. I'm using:
* procmail (any version works).
* fetchmail (latest version from bo, 2.6-1).
* I don't need sendmail (in fact, I don't have it currently installed).
I do *exactly* the following:
This is my script "pop.sandra", used to fetch mail from my ISP's mail
server (called "sandra.ctv.es"). I run this script from a normal user
called "sanvila" on my machine (which is the "normal" user uid 1000 :-).
*---------------------------cut----------------------
#!/bin/sh
fetchmail -a sandra.ctv.es -m "$HOME/bin/procesa.pop"
*----------------------------------------------------
Normally fetchmail delivers directly to port 25, but I still prefer to
deliver to this "procesa.pop" script, using fetchmail's -m option. This
script is like this:
*---------------------cut------
#!/bin/sh
formail -Y -s procmail
*---------------------cut------
(I usually removed "Received: " fields here, but now I do that from within
the .procmail file itself).
and my .fetchmailrc is like this:
*------------------------cut and modify to suit your needs----------
server sandra.ctv.es protocol pop3 password my.password
*-------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that's all.
Well, this was only the first part. The second part, of course, is to
write a suitable ~/.procmailrc file. For debian lists filtering I like to
use the Resent-Sender fields, like this:
:0:
* ^Resent-Sender.*debian-user-request@
debian-user
(This is to be added to your current .procmailrc).
You can check wether your .procmail works or not by doing:
cat mbox-type-file-with-several-messages | formail -s procmail.
This will "recycle" the "mbox" file, as it would have been just
received.
Hope this helps.
