Thanks for the fixes.
I am seeing mail in the mbox files now.
But I am also seeing new 0 size files in
/var/spool/mail
Is this OK?
My procmailrc is
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
Also, if I run your /root/procmailfix.pl after I run the
yum clean all
yum -y update
Will that break your spam assassin install?
