Re: sendmail 8.8.5 versus procmail on AIX

Thank you very much for your reply!
Unfortunately, this flag "-f-" doesn´t help. 
Nothing changes.

The procmail manual:

-f fromwhom
               Causes procmail to regenerate the leading `From '  line
               with  fromwhom  as  the sender (instead of -f one could
               use  the  alternate  and  obsolete  -r).   If  fromwhom
               consists  merely  of  a  single `-', then procmail will
               only update the timestamp  on  the  `From  '  line  (if
               present, if not, it will generate a new one).


So, it even should not change the From line, only the date.

If you put "|/home/user/procmail -f-" in the .forward, things will
work all right. The -f tells procmail to regenerate the From line.
