As much as I hate it when people use e-mail as a stumping block, I have to
respond.......
Perhaps your sysadmin doesn't want to subject you or your co-workers to
anything malicious. Especially something that mucks with sendmail, a very
un-secure program that has lots of access running as root, that has had lots
of security related problems with in the past.
Ninny? Perhaps he just likes his/her job and doesn't want to be fired when a
bad binary brings down your office mail system....or worse.
Anyway, why do you need procmail to run Mhonarc? its not really required.

Your sysadmin is a ninny.
