However, since running setup.exe and updating my Cygwin installation several days ago, Procmail has stopped working. After extensive searches through email archives, man pages, and various experiments, I still cannot get Procmail to write a log, so I am still unsure whether the problem lies with Cygwin, Fetchmail, or Procmail: At first I got messages about a "suspicious rcfile" for Procmail, and in accordance with the man page instructions managed to tweak the permissions and ownership of the following files (e: is $HOME): -rwxrwxrwx 1 tbaker None 335 Oct 22 11:08 e:/.fetchmailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 tbaker None 333 Oct 22 10:12 e:/.procmailrc This put an end to the error message about the "suspicious rcfile" -- without, however, making Procmail spring into action. Rather, everything just floods into my default mailbox. As before, my $HOME/.fetchmail says: | set daemon 10 | set logfile /cygdrive/e/u/config/fetchmail.log | set invisible | set no bouncemail | poll [**ADDRESS DELETED FOR THE POSTING**] | protocol: pop3 | username: [**DELETED FOR THE POSTING**] | password: [**DELETED FOR THE POSTING**] | nokeep | fetchall | mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA And my e:/.procmailrc says: | VERBOSE=yes | LOGABSTRACT=all | MAILDIR=$HOME/uc | PMDIR=$HOME/u/procmail | DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/MBOX2 | LOGFILE=$PMDIR/procmail.log | INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/procmailrc.lists | | :0: | $MAILDIR/mbox According to the above, Procmail should at least be writing a log file at e:/u/procmail/procmail.log -- as it always did before -- but there is no log activity at all, and the file has not even been initialized. For starters, can anyone out there say whether the problem lies with Cygwin (permissions), Fetchmail, or Procmail? Thanks, Tom Baker P.S.
