Re: [gentoo-user] procmail+spamassassin user filters

[David Rioja <rams@englobe-tec.com>]

Hello!

I had did both mistakes you said:

1.- My recipe file was named .procmail instead of .procmailrc
2.- My recipe file had permissions other than 700

Both from an outdated (or mistaken) howto (I've reported it to the author).

Now it's working. Note that the option

--prefs-file=$HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs

is unnecesary as this is the default path to user_prefs.

Thanks a lot!
