I note that you discuss sendmail's /etc/mail/hostname.mc file and how to reset local_procmail. First, there is movement afoot to remove sendmail from FreeBSD and replace it with dma(1). Second, a number of people probably do as I do, and invoke procmail from a .forward file. % cat ~/.forward "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-" Do you know if maildrop can be used in a similar way? I suppose I have some reading to do. -- Steve
