I am using mailfilter to delete spam on the server itself before downloading it. It has to be used along with fetchmail using the preconnect "mailfilter" line in .fetchmailrc. I have followed all the instructions. Running mailfilter from the command prompt before running fetchmail works properly. But I can't seem to be able to get it to run from within .fechmailrc.
This is the relevant part of /var/log/fetchlog fetchmail: starting fetchmail 5.7.4 daemon fetchmail: 5.7.4 querying pop.vsnl.com (protocol POP3) at Tue Dec 11 14:08:34 2001 mailfilter: Error: The rcfile for preferences (usually ~/.mailfilterrc) could not be read. fetchmail: pre-connection command failed with status 65280 fetchmail: Query status=5 (SYNTAX) -------------------------------------------- the perms of ~/.mailfilterrc are -rw-r--r-- What am I doing wrong ? As I said, it works when called from the command line. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri.
