Hi, I tested it yesterday evening and got some (little) trouble with the command: formail -s procmail -Y .procmail/debian-list.rc < Mail/inbox
I get: Error when trying to write msg xxx to "" for each message he tries to move (same error when replacing the -Y with -m). I switched to formail -s procmail < Mail/inbox This works, but is awfully slow and seems never to end (it launches a process in fg that does not stop; like as it was a daemon) and after 15 minutes he hardly had moved 2/3 of my 10 test messages. Is this any normal?? Regards Alexandre 2007/4/23, Paolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Formail calls procmail > for each individual message. that'd use ~/.procmailrc if any; if you want procmail to deliver as if msgs were from fetchmail, that's fine - though I'd rather set -Y: % formail -s procmail -Y .procmail/debian-list.rc < Mail/inbox assuming Mail/inbox is in mbox format, of course; if the *.rc is a generic filtering recipes set, you may want to use the -m flag instead: % formail -s procmail -m -Y .procmail/debian-list.rc < Mail/inbox but me careful that debian-list.rc doesn't have a rule that delivers to Mail/inbox ;) -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
