[ILUG] Procmail - conclusion

[Kevin Philp]

The problem has been identified. Apparently eircom and indigo check if the 
message comes from a valid domain and the message we are forwarding appears 
to come from cybercolloids.office which is not valid.....so it ends up 
dumped. Yahoo clearly don't do this check.

So the answer is to work on a small procmail script to change the header from 
cybercolloids.office to cybercolloids.net and all should be OK.

Thanks for everyones help.

set:

LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=yes
LOGFILE=/var/tmp/somefile

and try again and see what procmail logs. Though, if you can see them
being sent...
