RE: [cobalt-users] I can not get my .procmailrc to work

["Tony" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a known security/permissions problem with the version of procmail
that shipped with the Raq3. Search the archives for a few posts on the 
full resolution. 

Below is what we did to get an autoresponder
user to work.

+when a mail arrives, I get this interesting error message in the 
+"/var/log/maillog" file:
+Jan 16 01:55:20 www procmail[30074]: Suspicious rcfile 
+"/home/sites/site6/users/qax/.procmailrc"
+
+My questions are (as I must be doing something wrong):
+Q1    Exactly where should I be putting the .procmailrc file,

 
+/home/sites/site6/users/theuserinquestion/  <===== needs to go here

or /home/sites/site6/users/ ?

+Q2    What permissions should the current directory actually have 
+to allow procmail to work ?  

drwx------   5 marq098 site3       1024 Jan 15 22:42 marquiar

+Q3    What permissions should the .procmailrc file have ?

-rw-------   1 marq098 site3       3509 Jul 10  2000 .procmailrc

+Q4    What should the OWNER and GROUP be set to, should it be the 
+default used by FTP ?
owner=user  group=site#

+Q5    I assume procmail is installed on the Raq3's by default, and 
+assume it is always running and desnot need to be started ?

Yes.
