Tag: SPAM target

It’s usually not really big fun, if you find a message like this in your procmail log file: “procmail: Missing action“.

Well, I don’t yet know of a procmail syntax checker, which is rather a pity, so the debugging is of a dynamic kind.

Just add “VERBOSE=on” in the beginning of your .procmailrc, enjoy the flood of “procmail: No match on …,”, and find your “procmail: Missing action” occasionally in the middle of it. You found the corrupted rule then. The rule in question might actually be a very rarely used one resp. one pretty at the end of your .procmailrc, so it may take a while resp. a couple of incoming mails, until it gets used and shows up.
Once you found and corrected the offender, I am quite sure, you will remove “VERBOSE=on” very quickly.

This article attracted far too much SPAM, so I had to disable commenting.

I doubt it, that any other editor resp. IDE software is able to hold a candle to GNU emacs with its plugged in version control access to subversion, RCS, and CVS.
Once again I can just shout out to the world: I love emacs.
Where would my productivity be without emacs?
I almost never need to use my mouse to do anything within emacs.
(Alright, once in a while I use the emacs GUI menu to remind me of the appropriate shortcut …)
My hands can keep, where they can achieve the most: on the keyboard.
