Why just had a spike of cartalk style questions "my car does not
start, what could be wrong?"

(my procmail, my wifi, whatever).

What could be wrong?


Instead of facile retorts, why not ask a question if you think
particular information may help?  In fact someone with more sense has
helped me off-list, if only to confirm that my install is broken
beyond what would be a sensible repair.

Just as a matter of interest, when I ask a question with only outline
information, as this was, it's because I need a pointer as to which
particular bit of the problem is most likely to need investigation, in
order to avoid swamping the list with irrelevancies.  You
spectacularly failed to give this.

Anne, I know you are not a newby. But your question was sort of vague
and seemed to betray a failure to perform some basic troubleshooting
101 steps, "man procmail" is one. (There IS a lot to read there in the
various files. But learning the basics of how procmail works is going
to be step one for a lasting good solution. This is hard for ancient
bitches like me but I persevere. Having learned is a nice feeling. The
distressing part is how fast it all dribbles away these days.)
