Hi,

I am trying to set up procmail for my home machine to filter my incoming
mail.  When I send mail from my local machine to myself, the filter works.
If the the mail is coming from a remote host, the filter fails.  I
download my mail from the remote server using popclient.

My .forward has:

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #cpn"

and my .procmailrc has:

#Set on when debugging
VERBOSE=on
 
#Replace `mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm uses Mail)
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail

#Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
     
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing

rc.testing is as follows:

:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
IN.testing


If I can't get it to work for the simple filter, then there is no point
trying anything more complex.

any ideas?

cheers,
Carey Nairn
