As I think I mentioned in the December thread, procmail doesn't add any additional
headers that a standard MTA would. For example there is no "Date" header.
To add headers you can always use formail. Not sure what exactly mutt is looking for...
But try this....
cat d1.letter | formail -a "Date: `date`" | procmail -f cron
The following seems to work:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/crond
# Settings for the CRON daemon.
# CRONDARGS= : any extra command-line startup arguments for crond
CRONDARGS=-m "/usr/bin/procmail -f cron"
This produced a valid mailbox. At least so far. We will see what
happens tonight after a couple cron jobs...
