The funny thing is it does not have a "To:" header, if has a "Newsgroups:" header. Once you get to the composition screen there is also a "Followup-To:" header. I have never seen this before.

I use Mutt and procmail. I created a ~/.procmail directory and put different files in there (rc.bozos, rc.lists, rc.spam, rc.testing). Those rc files take care of the filtering for me. I also run all my messages through bogofilter for spam testing. I'm not sure I understand what you've tried, but as far as using procmail you shouldn't have to mess with ~/.mutt/muttrc.

Cheers! You should check that your fetchmailrc is actually passing the mail over to a valid user account. For example in mine poll pop.ntlworld.com with proto POP3 user 'djennings' there with password 'xxx' is 'derek' here options fetchall antispam 501 The account 'derek' has to be a valid user account on the server. If it is then Postfix will automatically create a directory in /var/mail for it. The other question of course is . Do you have Postfix running? If there is no listener running on port 25 (Such as Postfix or Sendmail), then Fetchmail will by default look to see if there is a ~/.procmailrc file in existance, and if there is it will pass the mail to procmail. What happens next is down to the contents of your .procmailrc file. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I am not expert in this matter, but if the mail
system is configured correctly, mutt should find
your incoming mails automatically (via the $MAIL
environment variable).
I am not sure where to start to look. Are you sure
that not fetchmail is the problem?
What is the output of (run in a shell):
echo $MAIL
ls -l /var/spool/mail
/sbin/service postfix status
mailq
(except for the first, it may be that you need to
be root to run them).
If you have a ~/.muttrc, move it away temporarily
to make sure the configuration doesn't get in the
way.
Btw, in order to avoid losing mails until it
works, you can fetchmail say to not remove
messages from your server ("keep") and for testing
force re-fetching of mails ("all"). It may mean
that you get some mail multiple times, but it
assures that you do not lose any.

Benjamin.

Re: [newbie] Mutt & Postfix
I just wanted to update the group on this issue. For those of you that use Mutt, you know how customizable it is via your .muttrc file. Well that's where the problem was. In the .muttrc you can specify who you are, your email address and the organization that you belong to. The lines would look something like this. my_hdr From: Tim Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> my_hdr Organization: UNIXTECHS ORG my_hdr Reply-To: Tim Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well there's often another line in the .muttrc that tell tells it to remove all "extra" headers as well. That looks like this. unmy_hdr * Well, from what I've been told by others, if you have the line for unmy_hdr in your .muttrc, it will ignore error messages that you may have from reading the .muttrc. That's what allowed the problem to slip through, but the problem was caused by the line for Organization. If you leave my_hdr Organization: blank, it causes an error. It will allow you to open your mailbox and move around in them and read messages, and even right them, but as soon as you try and send them, you recieve a lovely segment fault, and sometimes a core is dumped. Instead of just ignoring the blank field is dies on you. Personally this being the case is completely retarded, but that's just me. I spent almost an entire day trying to figure out why I had two users, that would continue to get segment faults each time they sent mail. But 5 other users were just fine! That's what pointed me towards the .muttrc. After rebuilding my .muttrc file line by line, (Which was a pain in the @%$ if you ask me!) and finally found that it was the Organization line that was causing my problem. I removed that line, and the problem is gone. I think the people with mutt were retarded for doing that! But again... that's just me. On another note, I found a way to turn off Aurora, and I suggest that it is done, as well as leaving failsafe in your boot menu, as I've seen it come in handy several times.

I also had problems with mail on my mandrake. I discovered that the problem did not come from the mail reader, but from the mail delivry agent. I had postfix installed, and I never figured how to configure it. (if someone knows where I can find easy docs about it and about mail configuration in general, I'm interrested.) But once I uninstalled it and installed sendmail instead, all went fine and I hadn't any problems anymore.
