I'm stumped here. I've scoured the web and docs and am I my wit's end. Any help greatly appreciated...

I've set up getmail and I have getmail calling maildrop like this in my getmailrc file:

postmaster = |/usr/bin/maildrop

(That alone was not easy to find out how to do.. It would be great if that was added to the docs of maildrop. If it's there I didn't see it).

I set up just one mailfilter to test things which looks like this:

if ( /^List-Id: "Struts Users Mailing List"/ ) { to /home/rickcr/Mail/Lists/struts-user/ }

(For the above I've also tried... to "/home/rickcr/Mail/Lists/struts-user/")

When I run getmail from the command line I get errrors:

... failed delivering message (command "/usr/bin/maildrop" exited 75 (/usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox.)), skipping

my /home/rickcr/Mail directory does look like-

Mail --- Lists --- struts-user

and each of the directories has permissions that look like:

drwx------ rickcr users

Can I anyone give me suggestions as to how to get this to work? I like sylpheed-claws which I'm using for mail but would really to mess with Mutt some to see if I like it. Unfortunately if I can't get this filtering down then I'm really stuck.

Thanks,
