Thanks Kevin. I've created separate rc.* files in a $HOME/Procmail dir like that : $HOME/Procmail/rc.subscriptions :
:0
* ^Resent-Sender.*debian-user@lists.debian.org
Debian/
:0
* ^To_aide@lea-linux.org
Lea/
:0
* ^Subject:.*
Inbox/
And my $HOME/.procmailrc :
# Next setting may be needed if a program, such as spamassassin or
# virussnag, is invoked from your procmailrc, but it should not be
# needed for the simple sorting recipes in this step-by-step section.
# Details are in Check Your $SHELL and $PATH in Troubleshooting below.
## SHELL=/bin/sh
# Directory for storing procmail configuration and log files
# You can name this environment variable anything you like
# (for example PROCMAILDIR) or, if you prefer, don't set it
# (but then don't refer to it!)
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail
# LOGFILE should be specified ASAP so everything below it is logged
# Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended)
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog
# To insert a blank line between each message's log entry,
# uncomment next two lines (this is helpful for debugging)
LOG="
"
# Set to yes when debugging; VERBOSE default is no
VERBOSE=yes
# Replace $HOME/Mail with your mailbox directory
# Mutt and elm use $HOME/Mail
# Pine uses $HOME/mail
# Netscape Messenger uses $HOME/nsmail
# Some NNTP clients, such as slrn & nn, use $HOME/News
# Mailboxes in maildir format are often put in $HOME/Maildir
#
# IMPORTANT: Upon reading an instruction that contains MAILDIR=,
# Procmail does a chdir to $MAILDIR and
# relative paths are relative to $MAILDIR
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # Make sure this directory exists!
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.subscriptions
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.worms
Found it in a tutorial.
So, When I compare with yours all seems ok, didn't ?
If it is, what is the command to place the messages in the MALDIR ?
When I give the command 'procmail', it hangs until a ^C.
