Sorry, didn't type that bit... Anywhere in /etc/aliases will do, then run "newaliases" to recreate the db files that the mailer actually reads from.<div><br></div><div>Ralph</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I have created the .procmailrc file it looks like this. The file is in /home/xymon 755 permissions and owned by xymon:xymon I tried the ownership as root as well.<div><br></div><div><pre>DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox

</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Yes you are. The xymon-mailack program expects an email message on standard input, and if run on the command-line your keyboard becomes standard input. You can do something like this:</div>
<div><br></div><div>xymon-mailack --env=... < sample-email</div><div><br></div><div>But first you need to put an email message into the file "sample-mail". You could create a file like this by temporarily removing the .procmailrc file (to let messages go into the xymon user's mailbox) and then sending the xymon user an email, and then copying a mail message from /var/mail/xymon. Note that the mailbox file can contain multiple messages each separated by blank line+"From " (from-space), and you only want one of them.</div>
