Warren,
Thanks for the pointer to another of your excellent short tutorials.
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.
