Nobody has an answer for this? Do I need to setup my procmail
settings on the server level and run it as root in order to solve this
issue? Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all. Ok, got a really weird setup here that I need some
advice on. I've started using my home mail server for spam filtering for
my dad and step brother. Well, it filters spam just fine for me, but all
it's doing for them is downloading the mail, then forwarding it off to
the dumping account without actually filtering the mail. I'm confused
why. Ok, well, here's my basic setup.
I'm firing up fetchmail at user level via cron to grab my mail,
filter it, and then deliver it locally. My dad and step brother's mail
is slightly different. Their mail is being pulled in by my fetchmail
process, and it's supposed to be filtered and then forwarded from my
machine off to a dumping account on my external domain so that all they
recieve is spam and virus free mail. Problem is, all it's doing is
grabbing the mail, then forwarding it off. It's not filtering it. I
have even setup local accounts for them complete with an exact copy of my
procmailrc file to try to help this, but it's not working.
Ok, to give you a little better mental picture, here's a general
layout.
user1 (this is me)
user2 (this is my dad)
user3 (this is my step brother)
user1 uses fetchmail to pull in the mail and pass it through spam
assassin and deliver it to his local account. He also grabs the mail for
user2 and user3 in an effort to filter their mail as well, then forward
it off to each one's respective mail accounts. The process is being run
as user1 from cron rather than as root. All works fine except no mail is
being filtered for either user2 or user3. It's basically coming in, and
then immediately going out again to another location.
Any way I can rectify this? Do I have to setup separate
fetchmail processes for each user? Or do I have to setup fetchmail as a
daemon and somehow set it to process mail for all 3 user accounts
individually. I'm kinda confused here. Any help is apreciated. Thanks.
