Agent and my incoming mail

Agent and my incoming mail

[Andreas Fuchs]

Hi,

I just tried out Agent; it's quite comfortable (after I turned off
NoCeM -- it just generates to much traffic), except for one problem:

Even when I am unplugged, it is still possible that I receive mail
which then goes through procmail (ie cronjobs)[1].

Nevertheless, I can not get gnus to get the mail when I'm
unplugged. Neither g nor M-g (over my default inbox) remove the mail
from my incoming files in unplugged mode, while they do in plugged
mode.

I triple-checked that nnml+private is _not_ in the agentized backend
list, manually removed the mail groups from the agentized group list
and ran various smaller checks (my inbox is overflowing with test
mails {-:) -- Wouldn't work. Is there anything I might have missed
from the docs?

TIA.
regards,
Andreas Fuchs


[1] My gnus.el looks like this:
<snip from=gnus.el>
(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/home/asf/Mailbox")
		     (directory :path "/home/asf/.procmail/"
				:suffix ".in")))

;; Filters und Agent-stuff

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.cis.dfn.de"))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '((nnml "private")
	(nntp "ghwnews.dyn.priv.at")
;	(nnslashdot "")
))

There is a section on the `:plugged' keyword in the node `Mail Source
Specifications' in the Gnus info file.  This should tell you how to
tell Gnus to fetch mail even when unplugged.

Yes, there is. Thank you. (-:

Would someone please reference this node from "Agent Basics"? I am not
the texinfo expert myself.. (-:
