As mentioned earlier, the mail is received on the spool
correctly. But procmail does not seem to be doing its job.
Well, here is something which might help in troubleshooting.
1. As soon as I dial-up and the ppp link is established, the root
does not do a fetchmail. I do it as a normal user. Does it in any
way affect the behaviour of fetchmail?
2. I am using pine to send mails directly after having redefined the server
in the configuration (giasbg.... rather than localhost). Does the
MTA come into picture here?
If it helps, .fetchmailrc and .procmailrc are given below:
**************** $HOME/.fetchmailrc ********************
poll giasbg01.vsnl.net.in proto pop3
user mysxrd password xxxxxxxx
limit 100000
fetchall
***************** $HOME/.procmailrc ********************
LOGFILE=$HOME/.maillog
VERBOSE=no
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
debian-user
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope I can get some answers/clues to get procmail working.
