Re: [webmin-l] Procmail help along with sendmail...

[Marcos R. <we...@al...>]

I'm lost... I was checking Asterfax homepage 
(http://asterfax.sourceforge.net), and it seems to me that it works as an 
smtp-like daemon!...

also...

if you create a user "receivedfaxes" and use procmail in 
/home/receivedfaxes perhaps it will be easier to trackdown the problem....

you could do:

add the user receivedfaxes

using virtusertable make any mail received for fax.htt-consult.com go to 
receivedfaxes

create something like this in /home/receivedfaxes

su receivedfaxes

cat >> /home/receivedfaxes/.procmailrc
LOGFILE=pmlog
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=on

myunique = `date +%s`
:0:
/var/spool/asterfax/inbox/$myunique

(control+D)

be sure that receivedfaxes can write to /var/spool/asterfax/inbox/

(you can make the user receivedfaxes with the same group than the one you 
see in /var/spool/asterfax/inbox )

Cheers!
Marcos
