Scheduler...

[Adrian J Bool <aid@u-net.net>]

Hello All,

I'm about to try changing the 'mailbox' program.. So that
I could do that without effect much I tried creating
a new channel for my (to be) altered mailbox to work on.

Taking things one place at a time I tried to create
another channel in scheduler.conf -  by copying
the local entry to my new one (store),

store/*
        interval=60s
        idlemax=90s
        expiry=3h
        # want 20 channel slots, but only one HOST
        maxchannel=10
        maxring=5
        #
        # Do MIME text/plain; Quoted-Printable -> text/plain; 8BIT
        # conversion on flight!
        command="mailbox -8"

... to run the standard (unmodified) mailbox porgram - intending that
by creating some mails using the 'store' channel they would be 
delivered just like the those in the 'local' channel,

	return $( routeuser $(list store - \1 $A ))

This bit seemed to work OK, the mail in the transport directory being,

# more 40640-5205
i 40640-5205
o 524
l <Marcel-1.09-1209113734-313o224@goat.noc.u-net.net>
e <aid@u-net.net>
s local aid@u-net.net aid 1
r       store - woolly 60001

The problem is that scheduler never seems to pick up the mail ;-(
It does not get mentioned in the output of mailq.  Scheduler
periodically puts,

Resyncing file "40640-5205" (ino=40640) .. in processing db

In it's logs (40640-5205 is the message in question).  Can't find
any other errors anywhere....

Do I need to declare channels anywhere else other then scheduler.conf?

Any help greatly appreciated, (inc. spelling suggestions ;-))

Thanks,

aid
