user's procmailrc not executed

Hi,

My user's procmailrc files are not executed when incoming mail arrive.
e.g. /home/user/homes/user.name/.procmailrc

This seems to be caused by the following two last lines in /etc/procmailrc:


:0
$DEFAULT

If I remove them, everything works fine.
However, from time to time, these lines re-appear for whatever reason.

I can not find the appropriate function in webmin or virtualmin that enables user's procmailrc files permanently (and get rid off these lines in the global procmail config).

We are using Virtualmin 4.02.gpl GPL on Debian Wheezy 7.1 with procmail 3.22-20. Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers
Michael

Howdy,

Hmm, that's actually what the end of the procmailrc normally looks like.

What are the full contents of your /etc/procmailrc file?

Also, what does the command "postconf -n" show?

There's an option in Virtualmin to decide whether users' procmailrc are executed. It's under Virtualmin / Email Messages / Spam and Virus Scanning : Allow mailbox users to create mail filters?

Is that set to "Yes" for you?

For me it is, and my /etc/procmailrcends with "DROPPRIVS=YES". There's no ":0 $DEFAULT" for me.

Ah, cool! That does the trick and seems to solve the problem! I knew I came across this dialogue and checkbox before but could not recall.

@Locutus: thank you very much.

We will monitor it over the next days/weeks but it looks good so far.

Cheers Michael
