Lo. Yesterday I checked if procmail will execute a script of mine, and I wrote .forward file, in which is line "|exec /usr/bin/procmail #user@host". First my mail agent said that no sendmail is installed. Ok, I installed it. Then for check I simply sent a mail to myself(removed .forward for that), I recived that. Then I made a forward file and sent mail again under root to user. Then I got the message back saying that procmail couldn't be execute etc. I looked around a bit and stumbled upon remark that says that Redhat 6.0 and newer don't need to write .forward mail to use procmail and .procmailrc . Question arises, as Mandrake 7.1 (1st CD, was to lazy to burn the 2nd ext) is compatible with RedHat , do I really need .forward file? My goal is to execute a script when a new mail arrives at a certain address. Grateful for your help, Antti (Btw, has everybody else had problems with Mandrake 7.1 text install? My install died when I needed to input root password x 2 , so I had to stick with graphical install and 60Hz vert. ref.(my poor eyes) )
