Hi, the procmail vacation script isn't working in the new ingo release (1.2.1). It seems that the new /dev/null method breaks the script entirely: No vacation message is being sent and, even worse, incoming mails are not being delivered to the Inbox anymore. Seems they are copied to /dev/null! When commenting these lines :0 /dev/null the script works fine again. Seems that this fix has never been tested against other operating systems than Centos 3. I'm using standard packages on a Debian etch machine. Bye Volker

I went with the /dev/null method for now. Can you try this out?

We're seeing double-delivery because the {}'s are causing procmail to fork another copy and we get a delivery at the end of both }. We either need to deliver the inner } to /dev/null, which looks weird, or we eliminate the inner {}. Which method is preferred?

Can you post procmail debug logs for the first and second messages with clean databases.

A very quick check seems to indicate this change is better but still not right. I regenerated the .procmailrc script with the change, emptied the .vacation.* database, then sent two messages from myself to the user. First message triggered an auto-response which I got fine, second didn't. That is as expected. But the user (with the .procmailrc) received duplicate copies of each message... Maybe there is something specific to my site causing the duplication, I don't know. But I do prefer it with this change, than without. Since I'd rather have them get a duplicate of everything, than have no vacation reply sent out. But either something else in my setup isn't right (causing the duplicate), or something else in this script isn't right (causing the duplicate). I'll try to investigate more later, and post more when/if I figure out what is going on...

http://www.stimpy.net/procmail/tutorial/vacation.html suggests that we should be using Whc:. Can you try that?

Can you attach the generated procmailrc? Or email me privately if it has sensitive info?

Centos (RHEL) 3.x, sendmail 8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6, procmail 3.22-10.el3.centos.0 (e.g., a stock Centos 3.9 Final machine). User has setup a vacation message via ingo using the procmail driver, and using a time period. (I have not tested without the time period; should try that sometime). Using the stock vacation procmail recipe, it sends no vacation messages. The message is delieved normally to the recipient. The procmail log shows: procmail: Executing "formail,-rD,8192,/u1/demkov/.vacation.demkov" procmail: Non-zero exitcode (1) from "formail" procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded procmail: Non-zero exitcode (-11) from "procmail" If I change the recipe from using "0: Whaf" to use "0: Wha" then the vacation message is sent properly, but the recipient gets two copies of the message in their inbox. This is preferable to not sending a vacation message, but still not good... I tried using Whafi, but it didn't seem to help (still got the errors shown above). Any ideas what is wrong?
