Hi all,
I did ask this a while ago but never got any real answers
so I will try again with some more information.
I am using fetchmail, exim, mutt to handle my mailing and
I have one .forward file to redirect all my debian list
mails to its own mailbox.
Lately I have been having problems that this mailbox is
write protected and I can not delete any mails.
I used to believe this was caused by exim locking the mailbox
because I could sometimes delete mails.
But now I use fetchmail like this:
slayer:# fetchmail -avK
So what I am asking is really how I can have write access to
my mailbox.
.........
My .forward looks like this
# Exim filter
if $h_Resent-From: matches "debian-user*"
then seen save /home/jocke1s/Mail/debian-user
endif
if $h_From: matches "Nvi"
then seen save /dev/null
endif
It is located in my home dir
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jocke1s jocke1s 200 Sep 8 2001 .forward
.........
My Mail dir looks like this:
drwxrwsr-x 4 jocke1s jocke1s 1024 Jun 21 05:24 Mail
and my mailbox like this:
-rw------- 1 jocke1s jocke1s 1290654 Jun 21 05:24 debian-user
That is how the file is created by the .forward file.
