Until now, mail-notification has been working beautifully. I always get 'You have new mail." above my zsh prompt when I have new mail. And I'm always notified of new mail from mailing-lists I'm on because I have the following line in my .zshenv file: export MAILPATH=~/.mailspool/rusty:~/Mail/z'?New Zsh mail.'\ :~/Mail/m'?New Mutt mail.':~/Mail/i'?New ISDN mail.'\ :~/Mail/r'?New Rosemary mail.':~/Mail/d'?New Digicash mail.' Until now I've been using an .elm/filter-rules file, and the following .forward file: "| /usr/local/bin/filter -vo /users/rusty/tmp/rusty.filter-errors" Now, with procmail, I'm using the following .forward file: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #rusty" My problem is that the minute I switch .forward files to start using procmail (at least I -think- it's the switching of the .forward files that's causing the problem), I no longer get mail-notification of any sort. Would anyone know why this happens and how I can maintain the mail-notification I've had all along? I'm using zsh3.0.1 and Procmail v3.11pre3.
