  • Having changed the recipes, the mails don’t seem to get reparsed and moved on. How do I tell procmail to reparse the whole mailbox?

    procmail doesn’t parse your mailbox, it only directs mail that is fed to it to the right place according to its rules. So you have to feed the mails from your inbox to it. This is achieved using formail -s procmail < /your/mailspool. With -s, formail will parse its input and invoke the given program for each mail, feeding the mail to the program’s stdin.

    • Oh! And don’t forget to save the mails from your inbox/spoolfile to another place before you re-filter them, else they’ll show up in your inbox in duplicate. I usually do this simply by mving my spool out of the way before piping it into formail (it gets recreated automatically by procmail).
