local mail delivery
Alright...got a question...probably has an easy answer, but it's got me
stumped....
I have a virtual hosting system set up; all of the email to my machine
is put into a single user mail account at a fulltime host. I then grab
this mail using fetchmail and, theoretically, it should be delivered to
the local users. However, it's not doing that...
the relavent line from my .fetchmailrc file is:
poll sakima.octoraro.org user xxxx pass xxxx mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
Which, according to the fechmail manpage should deliver the mail
according to the To: header.
Unfortunately, that seems to not be the case...all of the mail is
deliverd to the account which invokes fetchmail. The To: header points
to a local user, but is not delivered to that user.
I am running fetchmail and sendmail from Potato, current as of sometime
this afternoon...
(though I have no particular attachment to sendmail and probably shouldn't
be using it...I just have a smattering of experience with it from my
slackware days, whereas I have none with any other mailer...)
TIA,
