\t\t\t\tI am a fervent user of procmail<\/i><\/a>, have been such a user, since I found out, that sieve<\/i><\/a> is far less available in any such mail environment as mine at my provider’s site.<\/p>\n

I really don’t know of a lot of others, that also use\u00a0procmail<\/i><\/a>. I think, Axel uses\u00a0procmail<\/i><\/a>\u00a0as well, I worked with Axel like almost 15 years ago at ERNO.\u00a0I only found out, that “Sven G.” (a rather prominent open source person living in Berlin) also uses\u00a0procmail<\/i><\/a>, when we had a pasta evening together in my kitchen last Friday.<\/p>\n

Observing\u00a0procmail<\/i><\/a>\u00a0LOGFILE is my way of finding out about new e-mail messages, that try to reach me. I think, usually people have a look at their single mailbox (in case they are POP3 users) or at their 5 IMAP folders (just guessing that “5”). I have like 50 IMAP folders, and because I quite often toggle the “READ flag” of messages back to “unread”, observing\u00a0procmail<\/i><\/a>\u00a0LOGFILE and also keeping separate track of important messages in my diary is my way of attempting not<\/u> to lose track.<\/p>\n

Now why did I start this article today? Sven G. is a “procmail<\/i><\/a><\/span>\u00a0LOGFILE observer<\/i>“, too. And by “observer” I mean using “tail -f<\/span>” on that logfile \u2013\u00a0IYKWIM<\/a>. I just remembered that and Sven G., when I restarted that command line yet once again, and that raised a smile in my heart, that I enjoyed.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
