I sent this originally to the trac mailing list, but the more I look at it the more I think this is a getmail or other issue, so I wondered if anyone here had any ideas?

I want to read an IMAP folder and inject into trac. (I'm using the packages in the Ubuntu 11.04 repos (trac 0.11).) I have things working so that I can manually inject into trac:

echo "Subject:xx\n\nxx" | email2trac -p myproject

.. but when I try injecting from getmail I'm getting errors:

msg 1/5 (72687 bytes) msgid 646810065/INBOX/6 from <myemail> 2011-05-20 17:22:33 Delivery error (command email2trac 3118 error (1, )) (etc)

I'm not exactly what you'd call proficient in either trac or getmail, which doesn't help.

My getmailrc file contains: [destination] type=MDA_external path=/usr/bin/email2trac arguments = ("--project myproject", "-f /etc/email2trac.conf")

.. and I'm just running it manually from the same directory as the config ("getmail -g.")

My email2trac config has varied a bit with my experiments but it currently reads as follows - an anyone spot the obvious flaw in my setup?
