1. Comment out the line in .fetchmailrc which tells it to use procmail as MDA. I don't think that's necessary ( I don't use it here on a similar set-up). 2. Just above your "test" procmail recipe, put this recipe just for debian-user, and make a folder into which procmail can dump the goods. This list spins out mail regularly - you'll not have long for a test. ---------------- # Debian user :0: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian-user.spool ---------------------------------- 4. If that doesn't work rename your .procmailrc - do you get lots of mail dropped into /var/spool/mail/user including the sort of mail whioch has hitherto vanished? 5. There is a procmail log file somewhere? - what is it telling you? Persevere - this system is great once it is set up ;-) Glyn -- ************************************************** * Here we are then....... * * http://members.tripod.co.uk/Christchurch2000uk * **************************************************
