First of all, procmail is the default mail delivery agent with Red Hat Linux and either sendmail or postfix.

Forwarding mail directly to procmail means the mail is lost upon delivery failures such as out of disk space or insufficient permission problems. In that case, procmail unlike sendmail cannot bounce the messages. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9+Ku00iMVcrivHFQRAjACAJ97IqJK4T3R6+WZzEZNQMf5xstx3gCePDi7 yZlTq+AD4UkR+ceowp6Rtbc= =FMW8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
