Subject: [gentoo-user] weird cron mail problem
Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:42:46
Message-Id: 20090105164240.GA4573@ca.inter.net
1 Starting yesterday IIRC I've been getting one of the messages below
2 every time my Fetchmail cron job polls my 2 ISPs for new mail.
3 The content of the msg clearly comes from my own Fetchmail,
4 as it refers to both ISPs, but the msg itself originates at Uniserve,
5 as is shown by the list of routings in the full header (not shown).
6 Perhaps Uniserve has changed its procedures with this result,
7 but before I phone their tech folks, I'ld like to be sure
8 that it's not caused by something in my own machine.
9 I'm not aware of having changed anything to do with mail recently.
10
11 Does anyone have any suggestions based on experience ?
12 Is there any way to tell Procmail to dump the msgs in /dev/null ?
13 I have read the various man pages several times & checked Gentoo Forum,
14 but there's no sign of anything relevant.
