.procmailrc not running

Hi,

I'm using postfix and postfix starts automatically the procmail.
My problem is that the etc/procmailrc is executed but the $HOME/.procmailrc
in the home directory is not executed. Any Idea?
I have a mail spool. Shall I create a mail directory in the users home
directory or it should work also this way?

BR,
Steve

Error in procmail

I put this in a .procmailrc file
               :0
               * > 3000000
               ! test <at> domain
to forward e-mail larger than 3Mb.
And in the server this error occurs:
SYSERR(joaopaulo): mime8to7:multipart
nesting boundary too deep.
What's the problem?

How can I delete all mails from the domain microsoft.com? ?

:0h
* ^From.*microsoft
delete_this_email

???????????????

How does postfix start procmail?  Since it's running as a
priveledged (or mail) user, it needs to pass procmail the user name,
e.g.

% procmail -d username

Well, thanks to the esteemed folks on this list, the following has
apparently always worked for me: (changed to reflect the "microsoft"
domain for purposes of clarity and relevance)

:0:microsoft.lock
* ^From: .* <at> *\.microsoft.com
/home/users/cjraven/mail/crapper

which, once verified to work reliably, then becomes:

:0
* ^From: .* <at> *\.microsoft.com
/dev/null

Regards,
Colin

Yes.

    :0 hWc
    | formail -xto: -xcc: | sed -e 's/^/,/' -e 's/$/,/' | \
        grep -if /list/of/my/aliases

    :0a
    { 
      #stuff to do if "To:" or "cc:" matched any of my aliases
    }

where /list/of/my/aliases contains stuff like this: 

  [^-._a-z0-9]rch <at> solveinteractive\.com[^-.a-z0-9]
  [^-._a-z0-9]rh29 <at> yahoo\.com[^-.a-z0-9]

  (Don't indent it!  I only indented it to set it off from the text.
   I just made up the rh29 one for illustration...)

You don't want mail for zorch <at> solveinteractive.comml-consultants.org
for example.  

But if you think stuff like that is sufficiently rare, then you can
put just your email addresses into /list/of/my/aliases, and in the
procmail recipe use:

blocking certain attachments

I'd like to setup procmail to block file attachments with certain
extensions like .vbs, .shs, etc.  How would I do this.  I've checked out
some man pages and online faqs, but haven't seen anything regarding
this.

Basically looking for help on what to put in the /etc/procmailrc file so
that these files are blocked for all users.  There aren't any developers
on this machine, so it doesn't inconvenience anyone.

thanks very much in advance.

I'll give both methods a run this weekend, and report back on what I've found. If I make
any changes, that I think work well I'll be sure to send those along as well.

Heh, story of my life... :)

Recipe not working

I just began using procmail recently, and am utterly puzzled about why this 
recipe isn't working.  The first part, SystemLogs is the part that does not 
work.  But the others, identical in formula, do.   Pointers would be 
appreciated.  Thanks.....

_F

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
# DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
                         # We don't use a global lockfile here now.
                         # Instead we use local lockfiles everywhere.
                         # This allows mail to arrive in all mailboxes
                         # concurrently, or allows you to read one mailbox
                         # while mail arrives in another.

# Why doesn't this work?  I've tried variants of this, and still nothing.
