To: Cygwin
On a platform of Cygwin over WIN2000, I have happily used
Fetchmail to call Procmail, and this has worked brilliantly
for the past few months. However, since running setup.exe
and updating my Cygwin installation several days ago, Procmail
has stopped working. After extensive searches through email
archives, man pages, and various experiments, I still cannot
get Procmail to write a log, so I am still unsure whether
the problem lies with Cygwin, Fetchmail, or Procmail:
At first I got messages about a "suspicious rcfile" for
Procmail, and in accordance with the man page instructions
managed to tweak the permissions and ownership of the following
files (e: is $HOME):
-rwxrwxrwx 1 tbaker None 335 Oct 22 11:08 e:/.fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 tbaker None 333 Oct 22 10:12 e:/.procmailrc
This put an end to the error message about the "suspicious
rcfile" -- without, however, making Procmail spring into
action. Rather, everything just floods into my default
mailbox. As before, my $HOME/.fetchmail says:
| set daemon 10
| set logfile /cygdrive/e/u/config/fetchmail.log
| set invisible
| set no bouncemail
| poll [**ADDRESS DELETED FOR THE POSTING**]
| protocol: pop3
| username: [**DELETED FOR THE POSTING**]
| password: [**DELETED FOR THE POSTING**]
| nokeep
| fetchall
| mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA
And my e:/.procmailrc says:
| VERBOSE=yes
| LOGABSTRACT=all
| MAILDIR=$HOME/uc
| PMDIR=$HOME/u/procmail
| DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/MBOX2
| LOGFILE=$PMDIR/procmail.log
| INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/procmailrc.lists
|
| :0:
| $MAILDIR/mbox
According to the above, Procmail should at least be writing
a log file at e:/u/procmail/procmail.log -- as it always did
before -- but there is no log activity at all, and the file
has not even been initialized.
For starters, can anyone out there say whether the problem
lies with Cygwin (permissions), Fetchmail, or Procmail?
Thanks,
Tom Baker
P.S. I use:
|procmail v3.22 2001/09/10
|...
|Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl()
|Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
|Your system mailbox: /var/spool/mail/tbaker

My WAG is that your problem is due to incorrect file permissions.
Recall that the latest Cygwin DLL now defaults to ntsec *on*.
I would check the permissions of $PMDIR, $PMDIR/procmail.log, and your
entire $MAILDIR tree.
A quick test would be to shutdown all Cygwin processes and set
CYGWIN=nontsec to see if procmail starts to function properly again.
If this "fixes" the problem, then turn ntsec back on and fix your
permissions problem for real.

Hmm, have been trying to get my head around that one... The
Procmail man page doesn't have much on "permission" and
"ntsec" -- am I looking in the right place?

The binaries:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tbaker None 61952 Aug 19 16:41 /bin/procmail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tbaker None 61952 Aug 19 16:41 /usr/bin/procmail
$MAILDIR:
drwxr-xr-x 23 tbaker None 32768 Oct 23 10:44 e:/uc
$PMDIR:
drwxr-xr-x 2 tbaker None 4096 Oct 23 10:44 e:/u/procmail
Are these permissions set as they should be?

I closed all bash windows, put "export CYGWIN=nontsec" in
the profile, opened a bash window, verified with "echo $CYGWIN"
that it was indeed "nontsec", and tried Fetchmail again -- and,
as before, no Procmail log was initialized in $PMDIR, nor were
the recipes applied.
Before doing this test, however, I had captured the following
permissions for the binaries:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ 61952 Aug 19 16:41 /bin/procmail
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ 61952 Aug 19 16:41 /usr/bin/procmail
..showing them to belong to Administ instead of tbaker.

AFAIR this setting should be set outside from cygwin so profile might be
the wrong place. I have this setting as an envirnment setting in w2k.

Hmm, could try for diagnostic purposes, but I had the impression from
Jason that it is generally a bad idea to turn ntsec off?

IMHO it's better to turn it on too. Indeed I have turmed it on in the
place described above. I wanted to point at the right place for this
setting not for the right value. I hope I haven't confused you to much.

Aha, this is helpful -- I think. When I run "cat test.mbox |
procmail -m e:/.procmailrc", I get:
| procmail: [1432] Wed Oct 23 11:00:53 2002
| procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all"
| procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/tbaker/uc"
| procmail: Couldn't chdir to "/home/tbaker/uc"
| procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=."
| procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/home/tbaker/u/procmail"
| procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=./MBOX2"
| procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log"
| procmail: Opening "/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log"
| procmail: Error while writing to "/home/tbaker/u/procmail/procmail.log"
| procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*TEST"
| procmail: Locking "TEST.lock"
| procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=TEST"
| procmail: Opening "TEST"
| procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
| procmail: Unlocking "TEST.lock"
| From tbaker Wed Oct 23 10:44:40 2002
| Subject: TEST
| Folder: TEST 958
..even though "echo $HOME" in a Bash window confirms that
$HOME is "/cygdrive/e".
So I edited .procmailrc, changing
| MAILDIR=$HOME/uc
| PMDIR=$HOME/u/procmail
to
| MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc
| PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail
And running "cat test.mbox | procmail -m e:/.procmailrc" again, I got:
| procmail: [2044] Wed Oct 23 11:12:28 2002
| procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all"
| procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/cygdrive/e/uc"
| procmail: Assigning "PMDIR=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail"
| procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/cygdrive/e/uc/MBOX2"
| procmail: Assigning "LOGFILE=/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log"
| procmail: Opening "/cygdrive/e/u/procmail/procmail.log"
..and the procmail.log showed everything as it should.
However, incoming messages are still not directed to files
as called for in the recipes...

AFAIK cygwin takes the home directory from /etc/passwd.

Oho, indeed it does, and "/home/tbaker" doesn't (yet) exist!
Any reason I shouldn't just "vi /etc/passwd" to reset HOME to
"/cygdrive/e"?

Hmm. hacking araound in passwd is not the best thing to do.
Next time you run "mkpasswd" your changes may get lost.
I think its better to use mount the map /home/tbaker to the
place your files life.
If you have multiple accouts. its even better to map /home to a
place, where all user have a directory with there username.
Hope that helps

Sounds wise...

Yikes... just when I was getting used to ntsec/permissions,
yet another WIN32/Unix oddity to contend with...!
Looks like it might be easier just to spell out "/cygdrive/e"
in my .procmailrc instead of using the $HOME variable
there...??

For this sepical case, yes that is the quick solution.
But there may exist other programs that wil get upset
with a non-existing/wrong "home" entry in /etc/passwd.
So, sooner or later, you better fix the root-problem,
(making $HOME and "home"-entry in passwd work) than
patching a lot of other scripts or tools.
Have fun!

Actually, in this case it is procmail the is using your /etc/passwd
entry to set HOME. From the procmail man page, we have the following:
FILES
/etc/passwd to set the recipient's LOGNAME,
HOME and SHELL variable defaults

You have to pipe individual messages, not a mailbox. Something
like
formail -s procmail < test.mbox
might work, but I've forgotten.
See the man pages.

Hmm -- on my quick reading of the formail man page, the
command looks to be well-formed, but when I ran this it
did not register an event in the procmail.log or show any
other visible result.
However, in this case "test.mbox" is exactly one message
long anyway, so "cat test.mbox | procmail -m e:/.procmailrc"
alone should presumably have yielded the sought-for result?

What *exactly* does procmail.log indicate happened to the misfiled
messages?

Attached is the entire procmail.log -- i.e., the log
captures the file tested with "cat test.mbox | procmail -m
e:/.procmailrc" (above), but does not register any of the
incoming mail that is constantly arriving, which all simply
goes to the default /var/spool/mail/tbaker.

Is fetchmail running under the LocalSystem account? If so, then perform
the following:
chmod 777 e:/u/procmail
Can procmail write to e:/u/procmail/procmail.log when driven by
fetchmail now? If so, does it indicate why procmail can't write to your
mail folders?
If fetchmail is running under your account, then I'm at a loss to explain
your observed behavior.

Jason,
> If fetchmail is running under your account, then I'm at a loss to explain
> your observed behavior.
I always start fetchmail by hand as "tbaker" (my account)
in a console window with the command "fetchmail --nodetach".
My .fetchmailrc says (using ***** to block out the names
and passwords):
| set daemon 10
| set logfile /cygdrive/e/u/config/fetchmail.log
| set invisible # suppress "Received:" line fetchmail adds
| set no bouncemail
| poll *******
| protocol: pop3
| username: ******
| password: ******
| nokeep
| fetchall
| # messages
| mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA
This last line worked just fine for several months, until the
latest upgrade. The command executed is:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tbaker None 61952 Aug 19 16:41 /usr/bin/procmail
> Is fetchmail running under the LocalSystem account? If so, then perform

I don't think it is running under a LocalSystem account,
but I tried the above anyway and it did not work.
In short, fetchmail is fetching the mail but something seems
to be wrong with the handover to Procmail and everything
is simply landing in the default /var/spool/mail/tbaker.
I assume Procmail is not getting the mail at all because if it
were there should be some record of that in the procmail.log.
Moreover, I know that Procmail itself is working because
"procmail -m" successfully processed the recipes there and
recorded that success in the file procmail.log.

The above .fetchmailrc line invokes procmail differently than "procmail
-m". Since fetchmail is invoking procmail without the "-m" option,
procmail is looking for $HOME/.procmailrc. My WAG is that procmail
can't find your .procmailrc file. Hence, procmail defaults to sending
all messages to /var/spool/mail/tbaker without any logging. Note that
recent posts indicate an incorrect tbaker /etc/passwd entry.

That's it!!!
I created the directory /home/tbaker and copied e:/.procmail
there, and suddenly everything works again!
Bjoern suggested I map /home/tbaker to /cygdrive/e with
"mount". Would this allow me to delete the redundant copy
/home/tbaker/.procmailrc and just use /cygdrive/e/.procmailrc?
Would this "mount" command go into my .bash_profile? (Any
particular flags to use?)
Many thanks!

It depends :-)
I would suggest to run the mount-command only once in a bash
using the "-s" switch to the mount command. That way,
"/cygdrive/e" will be your cygwin-home dir (*not* install-dir,
just *your* (t.baker's) home-dir (if you are not familiar with
unix in general, I suggest to read a good introduction to any
unix or linux)) for all applications and all time.
With such a mounted hoem, you can delete the redundant copy.
(delete it before you create the mount.)
mounts using "-s" are stored in the registry, so they survive
reboots.
As a hint: "mount -s -b 'e:\' /home/tbaker" should work.
Please note the single-quotes, which prevent the shell from
playing games with the backslash. The "-b" forces a binary
mount. That stops cygwin from doing "crlf <-> lf" translations.
It is somewhat a mater of taste to use "-b" or not.
Have fun!

I'm glad that you finally fixed your problem.

The above is a very good suggestion, please follow it.
If you stick with your unconventional directory structure, then use the following:
$ mount -s -b e:/ /home/tbaker
However, IMO, a much more general and useful approach is the following:
$ mkdir X:/home
$ mount -s -b X:/home /home
where "X" is some drive letter.
Note that the above will work for all users not just tbaker.

Yes.

No, you just need to execute it once. Cygwin's mount table is persisted
in the Windows registry.

See above.

This solution reminded me that I had a
similar problem with Procmail before (see
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg00545.html)
which I solved by removing a subdirectory
/home/Administrator and recreating it as a
"simulink" to e:/ (as per Jason House's suggestion in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-05/msg01882.html).
Unfortunately, my log book does not record exactly how I did
this, but in my best recollection, I believe I used "ln".
Bjoern has now suggested one could do this via "mount".
Are both approaches okay, or is one more advisable than
the other?
More generally, I'm wondering whether there should perhaps
be a note in the FAQ alerting users to the difference between
setting the value of HOME WIN2000-system-wide, as I do through
Control Panel -> System; as opposed to setting it in .bashrc;
as opposed to getting the value from /etc/passwd. I find
this confusing, though I'm relieved at least to know where
the problem resides.

Two previous posts actually answer this question, but I
didn't see them because Procmail quietly started doing its
job again (because the solution worked) and didn't arrive in
my mailbox...
Apologies, and many thanks,
Tom

The procmail man page says about the -d flag:
-d recipient ...
This turns on explicit delivery mode, delivery will
be to the local user recipient. This, of course,
only is possible if procmail has root privileges.
I wonder if the default ntsec setting means he doesn't have the
permissions to run procmail in this mode?
There is more about the permissions requirements for explicit
delivery mode in the man page. User has to be in /etc/passwd etc.

It seems to work now -- perhaps because "tbaker" is part of the
Administrator group (it is just my own PC, not a group server).
