Re: Procmail issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



a) selinux doesn't exist on this box
b) doesn't matter where the log file is

And related to a), I have two other accounts that are successfully logging to /var/log/procmail.  They dump custom messages.  The differences I see is that those recipes have this at the top, under the LOGFILE line: LOGABSTRACT=off

And neither of them have an explicit 'VERBOSE=yes' (or 'on') line.

Try using a log file in the user's home directory, rather than /var/log.
I suspect that SELinux doesn't allow procmail to write to files all over
the filesystem.
