This entire time, since 2018, procmail failed because it needed to be group'd to root, not mail. Weird.
Also, a recent upgrade apparently bonked my custom torrc which temporarily fucked up torsocks even worse.

Now my only problem appears to be that mutt has lost the ability to modify flags, and opens in Read-Only Mode (regardless of torify)
@se7en @Untersuchende i have no idea how to even use [neo]mutt. the manuals seemed cryptic.
@icedquinn @Untersuchende Didn't fix it

[13:41 root@lappy se7en] > ls -ld /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 15K Nov 23 00:26 /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock
@se7en @Untersuchende oh. i've just been using the proxy settings, or the full captive proxy that forces everything through it.
@icedquinn @Untersuchende To my knowledge, mutt has no native proxy. I'm also using this decades old thing now:

[14:00 se7en@lappy ~] > which FetchMailAlive
FetchMailAlive is a function
FetchMailAlive ()
{
if test -f $CONF_FILE && test -f $FETCHMAIL; then
if test -f $PID_FILE; then
if ! kill -0 `cut -d \ -f1 $PID_FILE` 2> /dev/null; then
eval $($TSOCKS $FETCHMAIL);
echo New FetchMail started. 1>&2;
fi;
else
eval $($TSOCKS $FETCHMAIL);
echo New FetchMail started. 1>&2;
fi;
else
echo Fetchmail not installed or configured properly. 1>&2;
fi
}
@se7en @Untersuchende

tbh i would clunk most of that and use mbsync or fdm. (well, i have used both but for different reasons.)

procmail is very, very dead and has never-fixed issues.

fetchmail is probably fine since it still gets maintained.
@icedquinn @Untersuchende It's all I know. I'm not a stickler, I just really know no good alternatives

@Untersuchende @se7en huh i just went checking.

mbsync doesn’t have an option for a socks proxy option either. fdm does. msmtp does too.

well i guess torify works fine.

@icedquinn @Untersuchende Yes, it's a process that formerly worked and I am finishing fixing it. Meanwhile, this is also an issue for a long while

my `dnscrypt-proxy -h` doesn't show any of those flags.
@icedquinn
Neither does mine. However it was formerly standard (and working) behavior
