Hello,
I gotmail installed and tested it. the message was there (on the hotmail
server) but when I run gotmail in the terminal it does retrieve the message but
doesn't forward it to my mailbox (i.e. bash still reports no mail for me) my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is different from my u
[EMAIL PROTECTED] local machine so I set in /etc/aliases file bob:cat so, it's
supposed to be when gotmail runs and gets [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s emails it should
forward it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], cat does not receive anything even though
gotmail says that it got the hotmail massages.
here's my .procmailrc
# SET VARIABLES
# Internal Variables
SHELL=/bin/sh #Shell used to run procmail. Be sure this
points to
#your system's copy of sh. DO NOT substitute a

#Path for your programs -- this is probably best
#left alone.
VERBOSE=off #Change this to "on" when you try a new recipe

#it creates huge logfiles.
