I've tried putting this into /etc/procmailrc and also /home/$username/.procmailrc all to no available, mail still gets delivered to /var/spool/mail. In checking my sendmail setup, I have the "local_procmail" feature enabled in sendmail.mc and it shows up correctly in sendmail.cf, but still when I send mail it gets delivered to /var/spool/mail. I have no idea why. Michael. http://search.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Search - Looking for more? Try the new Yahoo!
