procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/home/erik/.procmailrc"
I use uw-imapd-ssl, postfix and procmail to deliver email. I didn't do
any system related changes (no config file changes, no apt-get fun) and
suddenly my procmail filters don't work, all email is delivered into
inbox and I get the message in subject in syslog, here's the relevant
part:
-------------------------------------- syslog quote start

-------------------------------------- .procmailrc start
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/listsrc
-------------------------------------- .procmailrc end
when I run procmail -version it says:
-------------------------------------- procmail version start
jojda:~>procmail -version
procmail v3.15.2 2001/07/18
... [copyright and contact info snipped]
Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl()
Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
It may be writable by your primary group
Your system mailbox: /var/spool/mail/erik
-------------------------------------- procmail version end
it used to have 664 permissions but I changed it to:
-rw------- 1 erik erik 660 May 12 19:41
/home/erik/.procmailrc
and it still complains!
any ideas? TIA.
