qmail & procmail

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
	We are using qmail for our machines here. Now I could not get
	qmail to work with procmail to do the sorting.

	Basically, I need to fetchmail emails from three pop3 mail
	servers and then use qmail to deliever them all to the root
	account.


	The .qmail in /root looks like this:

	| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail root

	The .fetchmailrc looks like this:

	poll pop3.our.mail.server protocol POP3:                                            
	        username hello there has password world is root here             
	        and wants mda "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject root"                  
	        fetchall nokeep                    

	The .procmailrc is not properly set up yet, but will just
	forward all the mails to /root/mail. It looks like:

	PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
	MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
	DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/incoming
	LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
	LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail

	However, with the above format, qmail still delivers the mail to
	the spool area. That is, somehow, procmail is not getting
	executed.

	Could someone please help me?

Shao.
