It looks at the .forward first, and that is why. You don't need a
.forward file, I would think, if you are using fetchmail in conjunction
with Procmail.
Here is my .fetchmailrc for Qmail
set postmaster ""
set no bouncemail
set properties ""
#set daemon 60
set logfile /home/username/Procmail/fm.log
poll mail.xxxxxxxx.com with proto POP3
user xxxxxxxxx there with password xxxxxx is username here
Here is my .fetchmailrc for Sendmail (Work)
poll mail.xxxxx.com proto pop3 user username pass passwd mda
"/usr/bin/procmail -f -"
I don't use a .forward file: Just .procmailrc and .fetchmailrc
Hope this helps.

| Hi, Folks, sorry for this OT questions, but I thinks it's a quick one:
|
| I'm filtering my fetchmailed mails with a .forward beeing
| "|/usr/bin/procmail". But the mails simply aren't filtered, they all get
| thrown into the inbox. Procmail logs something like:
|
| procmail: Lock failure on "~/Mail/in-inbox.lock"
| procmail: Error while writing to "~/Mail/in-inbox"
|
| I just don't understand how. (btw: mda procmail -d %T in .fetchmailrc
| doesn't work at all)
|
| Thanks,
| Kai
