Using procmail with Exim



Hi all,

I was feeling experimental a couple weeks ago, and decided to try
out Redhat. I backed up all my Important files (personal and system
config files) to my /home partition. Well during the install,
somehow I managed to format my partition that I was to mount /home
on (bye bye files :( ). I've managed to install other Linux variants
in the past without screwing up my /home and /usr/local partitions,
so I don't know what happened. AFAIC, strike one against RH. Well,
needless to say I soon began to miss all though great Debian utils
like apt-get. So I decided to re-install last night. I had mixed
feelings since I'd be doing it all over again (remember I hosed my
/home partition), but I clike a challenge.

Well, Things are going well, but I'm have a bear of a time getting
exim to work with procmail. I have the following transport and
descriptor stanzas in my exim.conf file:

procmail_pipe:
  driver = pipe                                   # this is line 211
in my exim.conf file
  command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
  user = ${local_part}
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  from_hack

procmail:
    driver = localuser
    require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc
    transport = procmail_pipe

but I keep getting this error:

smaug:~$ 2000-02-18 12:58:16 Exim configuration error
  director procmail_pipe: cannot find driver "pipe" in line 211

I can't figure out what's up with this. I'm going from some old
handwritten notes I made, so I may be missing something. Also, I
haven't found much at the exim website/mailing list (although I'm
still looking).

If anyone has an idea as to what's going on or has a similar
functional setup, can you clue me in or send me your exim.conf file?

Thanks :)
