ForwardPath function in procmail?

1997-05-29 12:53:00

I have been trying to implement a situation in which the .forward
and .procmailrc files that are normally in a user's home directory
are in a local directory on our mail server. That way, all the home
directories do not have to be mounted each time an e-mail comes in.

I have been able to take care of the .forward file by using the
ForwardPath function/variable in sendmail 8.8.5.

Is there a corresponding function/variable/trick that will make
procmail do the same thing?

I need it to deliver the mail the same way it does using the following
in the sendmail.cf file:

Mlocal,  P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
         M=2000000, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
         A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
         
When I try to use the -m option with an rcfile, some headers and the From line 
get dropped. I can put the From line back by using -f, but the headers are
still gone. Any other use of an rcfile gets a "Suspect file" message and the
mail is dumped.

Any ideas?

TIA
