Problem solved. I still used the pid of pppd
which is obsolete now.

Hi,

I get my mail with getmail and I am using procmail for mail filtering and it 
has worked well with my dial-up modem connection. Now with the broadband 
connection it seems to miss some of the entries in .procmailrc such as:

:0 wc:${MAILDIR}/$LOCKEXT
* ^From:
* $^From:${GETTEXT}
##| echo $FOO >> ~/Frommail
| echo "From: ${MATCH}" >> ~/Frommail 


:0 wc:${MAILDIR}/$LOCKEXT
* ^Subject:
* $^Subject:${GETTEXT}
| echo "Subject: ${MATCH}" >> ~/Frommail

Which then shows me on a small xterminal what mail is coming in,
and most important my blacklist

LOCKEXT=.lock
:0 Whic :$BLACKLIST$LOCKEXT
 | (formail -x received: -x X-Envelope-From: -x Message-id: -x from: -x 
sender:
-x reply-to: -x  return-path:| fgrep --quiet --ignore-case --file=$BLACKLIST)
##
:0 Wa 
/dev/null

The filtering into various mail boxes of the mail program exmh is still 
working properly. I have not touched .procmailrc since changing to broadband.

Could is be that the mail comes in too fast now or what else could be the 
reason?

Thanks & regards
