We're running Postfix on a Yellow Dog 3.0 install and I have created a
.procmailrc (as suggested by a very gracious member here with full
attachment clipping - thanks so much) and a .forward file for a single
unix account user. I sent a couple of test messages to that user account
with a small .exe file attached and the recipe seemed to work like a
charm, but I have a question.
As far as I can tell, the recipe calls for stripping the attachment
based on specified type and then dumping the message in a
.messages-rejected directory.
However, when I check the directory itself, I find no instance of
anything there......
Should I be seeing any data in that directory when a message is run
through the procmail filtering and thrown in that directory?
Here's the contents of the file:
VERBOSE=off
LOGABSTRACT=yes
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
COMSAT=no
:0 B
*^Content-Type: (application|audio)
*^.*name=.*.(vb[esx]|ws[hf]|c[ho]m|bat|cmd|hta|exe|lnk|pif|scr|shs)
.messages-rejected/
## subject lines with 'adv' or 'advertisement' or some other variation
:0:
* ^Subject: [?ADV.*]?
/var/log/spam
Thanks, all.
Chris
