While this document didn't cover setting up procmail as the default
transport, I followed some pointers from it and found details on the web
(which say they come from the examples directory in procmail, although I
couldn't find them in /usr/doc/procmail) on how to do just this.
Specifically,
2c.Special directions for sites with smail
---------------------------------------
For smail 2.x users there are two options:
i. Move the current local-mail-delivery program (probably /bin/lmail)
out of the way, make a symbolic or hard link from procmail to the
name of that program (e.g. "ln /usr/local/bin/procmail /bin/lmail")
ii. Make sure the following macro is defined in src/defs.h:
#define LMAIL(frm,sys) "/usr/local/bin/procmail -d"
For smail 3.x users there are also two options:
i. The same solution as for smail 2.x (however, method ii is preferred)
ii. Replace any existing "local"-entry in the /usr/lib/smail/transports
file
(create one, if need be) with the following two lines:
local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe;
user=root, cmd="/usr/local/bin/procmail -d $($user$)"
I used method (ii) for 3.x (the file is /etc/smail/transports in
debian). Be careful, you need to use commas and semicolons just as shown
(semicolon after driver=pipe, commas elsewhere) which I missed first
time...
Now working just as I want.
Hope this helps others with the same requirements,
Paul.
