I am having some nightmare procmail issues on a system with PLESK My aim is to run these rules server-wide but for now I have a .forward file processing a specific user to a .procmailrc file. I want to be able to delete certain email on criteria using /dev/null but even when the filter matches, the email still gets through. For a while I was even getting double emails of all non-spam tagged messages. Any help with figuring out why the /dev/null action isn't working would be appreciated, but I am also getting "cannot create tmp lockfile" errors when I try to use spamassassin for blacklisting and whitelisting. below are my .procmailrc and a procmail.log output. Any insight would be greatly appreciated since this has been eating up DAYS. Kev PS: I have replaced actual domain names and user names with generic terms, but all paths on my server are accurate MAILDIR=/var/qmail/mailnames/domainame.com/username/Maildir SPAMDIR=${MAILDIR}/.Spam DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/ #LOGFILE=${MAILDIR}/procmail.log #LOG="--- Logging ${LOGFILE} for ${LOGNAME} " #VERBOSE=yes #LOGABSTRACT=all # Send all mail through SpamAssassin :0fw: spamassassin.lock * < 256000 | spamassassin :0 * ^From:.*@yahoo\.com /dev/null :0 * ^Subject:.SPAM /dev/null :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes.* /dev/null PROCMAIL LOG: procmail: [10865] Mon Sep 1 07:30:10 2008 procmail: Locking "spamassassin.lock" [11466] warn: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/qmail/popuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.server.domainname.com.11466 for /var/qmail/popuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: Permission denied procmail: [11464] Mon Sep 1 07:30:13 2008 procmail: Unlocking "spamassassin.lock" procmail: No match on "^From:.*@yahoo\.com" procmail: No match on "^Subject:.SPAM" procmail: Match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes.*" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/dev/null" procmail: Opening "/dev/null" From [email protected] Mon Sep 01 15:30:06 2008 Subject: *****SPAM***** Looking for Tag Heur replica?
