just out of curiosity, what does the 'm' directive do/stand for?
The 'm' flag tells sendmail that if while processing a message with
multiple (envelope) recipients, multiple recipients resolve to the
same mailer and "host" (from the $# and $@ parts of what comes out of
ruleset 0), then sendmail may perform delivery with fewer invokations
of the mailer than if it had done the recipients one by one.
For example, the 'm' flag on the smtp mailer tells sendmail that it may
send more than one "RCPT TO:" command one a given connection. In the
case of procmail, the 'm' flag tells sendmail to put multiple users on
procmail's command line.
The problem with this is that procmail can only return a single exit
status to sendmail. If delivery fails for one person, procmail has to
return failure for everyone to avoid lost mail. By having sendmail
invoke a separate procmail for each recipient (that is, by leaving out
the 'm' flag) procmail can return a separate exit status for each
user.
Further sendmail questions, unless directly related to procmail, should
be answered by consulting the (excellant!) sendmail documentation,
found as doc/op/op.ps in the source tree, or the Bat Book (_Sendmail_,
published by O'Reilly and Associates), or by asking in
comp.mail.sendmail.

I have produced a patch for adding X-Envelope-To as attached below.
The patch is produced for sendmail-8.8.4/src/conf.c:
In addition to applying the patch,
sendmail must be configured to send local emails
without the "m" mailer flag.

Hi,
I want to install procmail in my account, but .forward doesn't work.
I mean that .forward is not accsesed by the mail mechanism,and my
administator is on vacation...
What to do?
I thought maybe to procmail has the ability to sort mail from the ~/mbox,
instead BEFORE it goes there. Is there an option for this ?
Thanks.

Hello,
I just want to ask if there is a German readme file for procmail available,
since it was developed in Aachen, Germany.
Thank you!

I'm still having problems getting procmail to pipe my mail to a perl
script. It seems as if it insists on running the script under the bourne
shell (sh) which does not understand the #!/usr/bin/perl at the beginning
of the script. I have included below hopefully EVERYTHING that would be
of use in determining what the hell is going wrong and how to get things
working...
BTW, the script does work as expected if I run it from the command line
(under tcsh). Example: cat testfile | filter.pl
