Last week I installed a new virus scan software on our Postfix Mailserver. All works ok except for procmail now. Procmail will still filter mail and move emails to users folder but it will not forward copies of email. It's like it has no connect to the mailserver to send the redirected/forwarded mail out. For instance, this rule... (actual names/domains changed to protect the guilty)

:0Hc: * ^From:.*jeff ! bob@otherdomain.de

You don't need locking here. remove the extra : :0 c

Produces this log file...:

Check if you have files named "sendmail,-oi,bob@otherdomain.de" or like this. It is posible that procmail see the command as a filename because of the lock request. Bye, Udi

procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi bob@otherdomain.de" procmail: Unlocking ".lock" procmail: Bypassed locking "/var/spool/mail/jeff.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/jeff" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/jeff" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Notified comsat: "jeff@8014766:/var/spool/mail/jeff"

Problem is, the mail to bob@otherdomain.de never gets sent or even appears in the postfix mail logs.

Any idea what I should check???
