[ingo] My ingo filters don't seem to be working

[Ben Chavet]

Ok, this makes sense now.  You are going to want to modify the procmail 
$DEFAULT
  variable.  There are a couple of ways of doing this.  The way I do it is by
using the /etc/procmailrc global procmail config file, adding the following:

   ### Using mbox ###
   DEFAULT=/home/$LOGNAME/mail

or

   ### Using maildir ###
   DEFAULT=$HOME/.maildir/

The other way of doing it is by specifying $DEFAULT in the
ingo/config/backends.php server config.  I haven't actually used this method,
and it's been a long time since I've looked at any ingo source code, so 
I don't
have any pointers on this, other than I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Hope that helps
