But, when I put this into place, I noticed I was not getting a copy of
mail to my users who were piping mail into procmail from their own
.forward files. Does this mean that a /etc/procmailrc does not affect
those who pipe to a program in their .forward? Or just those that pipe
to procmail?
An /etc/procmailrc only affects those who use procmail as their
delivery agent, whether because it is the local mailer, or because they
call it from their .forward. Users could always forward their mail to
/bin/mail and skip procmail if they wanted to. I guess this is to say
that using /etc/procmailrc for this is a quick and easy but not very
thorough method of saving a copy of everything. You're probably better
of getting the procmail mailer hack to work.
