Re: procmail wants to do aliases!?

[Matus Uhlar <uhlar@ccduck.ke.sanet.sk>]

->     Well, after the bout of messages regarding using procmail as the
-> mail delivery agent, I decided to try it.  I've been using procmail for
-> the MDA under sendmail for about 2 years now with no problems.
-> Unfortunately, it did not work.  When mailing to majordomo for
-> processing, something happened during which the mail bounced, and it was
-> attempting to send it to postmaster.  I stopped zmailer services and
-> checked some things out - it appears that procmail was trying to deliver
-> to postmaster, which on my system anyway, is an alias.  Anyone know why?
-> I changed the definition of mailbox to procm in scheduler.conf as
-> follows:
-> 
-> command="sm -8c $channel procm"
-> 
->     Whereas it used to be the stock
-> 
-> command="mailbox -8"
-> 

look at sm.conf

procm   sSPfnm   /usr/local/bin/procmail         procmail -a $h -d $u -t

it means that procmail will get "-d <user>"
and the line

command="sm -8c $channel procm"

means that ANY local delivery will be passed to sm...
so procmail should know how to deliver to pipes/programs or we should tell
sm or scheduler only to pass user delivery to procmail.

I'd vote for the first way. I'll mail to provcmail maintainers.
