Procmail, pine, imapd and bogus mailboxes...
Hullo!
I'm writing here 'because I never had this problem with Slackware' :)
Okie, in /var/spool/mail, I have a symlink from 'gdh' to my real mailbox
in /home/gdh/Mailbox, and this link in this preset dir lets crappy stuff
like pine and UW's imapd work correctly...
However, I've moved to Debian unstable, with qmail as the MTA, and
procmail as the MDA (?) ... Alas procmail complains very loudly when it
sees a link in /var/spool/mail - and as it's manpage says, will rename the
link to BOGUS.gdh.blahblah ...
What I'd like to know is.. is there a way around this, or to disable this
'feature' of procmail?
If someone has a more elegant solution I'm all ears, and yes I know the
nicest solution is probably mutt and Courier-IMAP, but I like pine I'm
afraid :)
Kind rgards,
Gavin.
