Hi Matthew

your file looks ok, so far, you need to check your fechmail config, because if is working, but it is not calling procmail. you need something like

mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m /directory/to/procmail.conf"

check here for reference

Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup fetchmail to get my email from the server, procmail to sort my email, and mutt to read my email. So far, fetchmail appears to work. It gets the mail and puts it in /var/mail/username. I believe that the next step is to have procmail sort it into mailboxes. I have created a .mail dir in my home dir. I attached a copy of the .procmailrc file that I have written. It does not appear to work. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the config file. Any other comments or suggestions are also welcome.
