Hi Ritesh My first recipe is:-
:0 c : $HOME/inc.lock * ^From:.* * ^Subject:.* *!X-Spam-Status: $HOME/mail/incm.`date +%Y.%m` It's there to keep a copy of all my incoming email. I only ever look at it when if I accidentally delete a message in my Inbox,or mess up a procmail recipe,all too easy to do. I also usually copy it to a DVD at the beginning of the next month. -- Andrew in Edinburgh,Scotland Ritesh Raj Sarraf wrote: > Alexandre Rossi on Friday 21 Jul 2006 17:16 wrote: > > >>> 3) Why is this happening and where might have the lost mails gone ? >>> >> Try to put a catch-all rule at the end of your .procmailrc . >> Did you put a slash at the end of your procmail rule to instruct >> procmail to use the Maildir format? >> >> example : >> :0 >> * ^List-Id: <debian-news.lists.debian.org> >> .computers.debian/ >> >> You needn't consider the cur/new stuff in procmail.
