Discussion about the Procmail mail delivery agent

Help needed.

Hi,

Please let me know if tis is the correct address to use for procmail
queries on using procmail. If I recall correctly there was a
procmail-users list but I have had all requests to subscribe to it
rejected as not being available.

Please advise

Thanks
Regards
Hylton

The address you are using *IS* the procmail users list.
Just send your inquiries here.

And for future reference, please do not send an 'unsubscribe' request to 
the actual list. There is a link at the bottom of every list mail for a
web page where you can manage your subscription or cancel it.

Oh, and please pay close attention to your headers when 'replying' to a 
post. It is considered good netiquette to reply to the list and not e-mail 
responses directly to the individual sender of a list posting. 
Unfortunately, with the settings on the procmail list, most mail clients 
will 'default' to sending a reply to the sender and not the list.\
So you will need to 'reply to all' and then manually remove the sender 
from the headers.

IIRC, the procmail-users list was a reflector for this list.  procmail.org 
had some hosting issues some years ago (er, like 8 or 10 years now), and 
the procmail-users ceased to be used as a result.

As to the test message - try to avoid sending such things since when the 
test is successful, you'll have deposited a worthless message into the 
inbox of hundreds (or in some case, thousands) of recipients.  Sending you 
actual query would be better - as yet, theres still no procmail question 
posed to the group on your behalf.

Note that the archives of the procmail list can be searched through one of 
several public archives, including:
