Nothing works, no logging.

Hello, I am newbie to procmail.
And I have problem.

Even after I set up procmail and .forward Procmail DIR and so on,
(as many beginners-guide say),
nothing chenges.

Any emails with any subjects come to inbox
 just the same as the case without procmail.

And I looked log file but the log file were not created.
Also I did not recieve any error message.
So I have no idea what to do next.

Something i guess is that ...
my web site is on Vserver system(vserver.com),
where i have "virtual" root, not real root.

Will you give me any helps?
Thank you.

Check the MTA's logfile.  If it's sendmail, you might get a message
like

    forward /home/yourName/.forward: World writable directory

in which case you should correct it (chmod 755 /home/yourName)

Website?  What connection does your website have with email?

As Philip said about six weeks ago:

mimencode and $SECURITY_QUARANTINE

i found this in ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/antispam/html-trap.procmail
what is mimencode and $SECURITY_QUARANTINE ?
which value that I must attribute for $SECURITY_QUARANTINE ?

# Attachment scanning requires mktemp and mimencode.
#
# This is a non-delivering filter recipe unless $SECURITY_QUARANTINE is set.

How to block unwanted Mails

Our system is Linux (Red Hat) with all the users terminals connected to
it.

Problem: 1. We are receiving some Unwanted mails which we want to block
                     How to do this from the Linux Server ?

                2. Users are also sending some mails which we want to
block
                     How to do this from the Linux Server ?

Re: How to block unwanted Mails

Start by doing some testing. Create a test account, or use an
account whose email receipt isn't so important to you, and create a
file named ".procmailrc" in its home directory. See the examples in
procmailex(5). Start by trying to write a recipe to file the select
messages into a separate folder. Once you've got that working to the
point where you're confident in it, you have some choices; you can
adjust the recipe to deliver into the folder /dev/null, which will
discard the message; and/or you can install it into /etc/procmailrc
to make it take effect for all users of the system whose email is
delivered using procmail. As a separate decision, if you don't
already have things arranged this way, you can configure most Mail
Transport Agents to use procmail as a local delivery agent for all
local email deliveries. That'll make /etc/procmailrc take effect for
all users, rather than just those who choose to call procmail from
their ~/.forward files.

A couple of pieces of advice re writing filtering recipes.

- I strongly recommend debugging with a test acct, lest you
  inadvertently lose email you care about.

- It's amazingly easy to write a recipe that looks good, but in
  practice ends up matching things you don't want it to; seriously
  consider never ever writing a recipe to /dev/null, always file
  into a separate folder, and if necessary set up additional
  processes to archive or automatically delete the messages in that
  folder. Maildir format folders are often easier for scripts to

O_o

This is a nice procmail filter (perl of course). the $SECURITY_QUARANTINE you
should set to "$ANYDIRECTORY/dumpster" for ex. In this file will alocate all mails
filtered.

About mimencode I can't help you now... ok! but I tryed...
