I have several addresses on my local machine all forwarded to the same
mailbox at my ISP. I set up a ~/.procmailrc file in the directory of
the user which retrieves the mail (with fetchmail) with the following
type of filter:
:0:
* ^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
! user1@localhost
This works to redirect the mail to the correct mail directory, but exim
notifies the sender that there was an error:
----- Forwarded message from Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
X-Failed-Recipients: user1@localhost
From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 03:13:22 +0000
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/usr/bin/procmail
generated by nielsen@localhost
The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:
------ pipe to |/usr/bin/procmail
generated by nielsen@localhost ------
procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------
<snip>
Is there some {exim|procmail} setting required to define the lockfile?
I get no errors sending mail, just when incoming mail is redirected.
