Can you use procmail on a different system?
If you’re planning on using Procmail on a different system, you should consult your system administrator. You can find a link to the Procmail ftp site at the end of this file. Currently, these UMBC systems are already running Procmail.
When does procmail stop processing a RCFile?
If a delivering recipe is found to match, procmail considers the mail (you guessed it) delivered and will cease processing the rcfile after having successfully executed the action line of the recipe. If a non-delivering recipe is found to match, processing of the rcfile will continue after the action line of this recipe has been executed.
Where do I put my mail in procmail?
DEFAULT is the default place for Procmail to put your mail; this should be your regular incoming mailbox. For me and most users, this is $HOME/.mailspool/ian (except with your username); but it could be something else, such as $HOME/.Maildrop.
What does the first recipe in procmail do?
The first recipe that matches is used to determine where the mail has to go (usually a file). If processing falls off the end of the rcfile, procmail will deliver the mail to $DEFAULT . There are two kinds of recipes: delivering and non-delivering recipes.
Is there a way to run procmail on UMBC?
Currently, these UMBC systems are already running Procmail. All you need to do is compose a special file, called .procmailrc (don’t forget that leading dot!), which describes the sorting criteria. Once you have this file in your $MAIL directory, Procmail will automatically be run on any incoming mail you receive.
What’s the name of the file procmail logs to?
This specifies the name of a file to use as a usage log, to which Procmail will write any diagnostic or error messages during its activity. In this example, logging is being done to /dev/null, which is kind of a system black-hole for dumping unwanted data; no logs will be kept by this .procmailrc file.
How to save an Outlook email for later use?
In the email window, click on “File” menu on the Ribbon. Select the “Save As” command. In the “Save As” menu, navigate to the location you want to save the file, and then type a name for the file.
