Hi,
I am getting bounces to one of my accounts on my personal server from an
account that is forwarding mail. I administrate the entire server.
I am not invoking spamc or spamassassin system-wide nor by my account.
I am running postfix+amavisd+spamassassin to catch spam.
the system wide procmailrc looks like this
$ cat /etc/procmailrc
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
#Uncomment below for troubleshooting
VERBOSE=YES
LOGABSTRACT=YES
I just turned on logrotate for the log file
ls -l /var/log/procmail.log
-rw------- 1 root mail 33821491 Nov 2 23:11 /var/log/procmail.log
After search the /var/log/procmail.log file I was unable to find a
corresponding error message nor was I able to find a log for the message
that was attempted delivery. Does anybody have ideas about what else to
check please?
Here is my users' ~/.procmailrc
$ cat .procmailrc
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
HOME=/home/<username>
MAILIN=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=/var/mail/<username>
#MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
#LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
LOCKFILE=/var/mail/<username>.lock
NULL=/dev/null
I can see the bounce claiming "Command time limit exceeded:
"/usr/bin/procmail"" back to my secondary account is originating from my
machine by looking directly at the SMTP header. there is absolutely no
spammers and spam email involved in this situation.
and there is a corresponding (Command time limit exceeded:
"/usr/bin/procmail") log entry in /var/log/mail.log
so what can I do to circumvent procmail from claiming a time out. is
there a global server setting I can configure?
