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
This should be 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).
getmail is very easy to find and config.. all you have to do is look for
getmail, not maildrop... it is documented *both* in the readme files and
the sample config file of getmail that is in the getmail dir when you
install it... *or* you could go on Charles' site, and just look at a
sample getmail file, which has all the info you will ever need. It is
synonymous to you going to the Sendmail site looking for info on qmail.
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/
}
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
I believe by default, maildrop will seek a Maildir format, and it appears
you have mbox format with Mail. I am not sure (or care) if maildrop can
use mbox.
