You can simulate this by making the fgrep (or whatever you use -- Perl
is a good candidate if you want to do something slightly more
complicated) redirect output to standard error. Anything written to
stderr will turn up in Procmail's log file (assuming of course that
you haven't turned logging off entirely).

* formail -cz -xFrom -xSender: -xX-From: -xX-Sender: -xReply-to: | \
fgrep -wsf $HOME/procmail/bozos >&2
bozo-rejects
Off top of head; you could postprocess the output of fgrep with sed a
little bit to make clear where it comes from (i.e. sed -e 's/^/bozo: /')
before the redirection to stderr; and, this will quite predictably
break if you're using one of the C shells and not setting
SHELL=/bin/sh.
Still, hope this helps,
Thanks, I'll try this. Perl probably would be a likely candidate for
something like this, but considering what you saw of how I can mangle
a procmail recipe, do you really think you want to see me try my hand
at a Perl script? ;-)
