Please forgive the cross-post, but I have gotten no response on this
matter from the mutt list or from the maildrop list. I have read all
the relevant man pages and have been searching without success on Google
for a solution (other than switching to procmail).
I am switching from Gnus to Mutt, and am using maildrop to provide the
sorting which I previously was doing with Gnus. I am running Debian
Etch on an i386 (Celeron) desktop system. The incoming mail chain is as
follows:
pop3.isp.com -> getmail4 -> maildrop -> [ maildir structures ] -> mutt
I created the maildir structures manually, using the command:
$ mkdir -p ~/mail/<new-maildir-name>/{cur,new,tmp}
I am getting errors of the following variety:
Delivery error (command maildrop 20225 error (75, /usr/bin/maildrop:
Unable to create a dot-lock at computer/20225.0.cromwell.))
Here is my "~/.mailfilter" file:
DEFAULT="$HOME/mail/nondescript/"
