I am running a list that uses the following script:
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail/log
:0
* ^From:(_dot_)*rivhillregister(_at_)lawlab(_dot_)com
{
:0fhw
| sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' -e 's/^/Bcc: /' rivhillregister ; \
formail -I"From " -I"To: Unofficial Riverhill Mailing List" -ICc: -IBcc:
:0
! -t
}
to forward all mail from a certain address to all names in a file. It
worked fine for weeks. Now suddenly it has stopped working, and the
following type of entry appears in the log:
Subject: AA0999 CHAT much ado about nothing
Folder: /usr/lib/sendmail -t 8877
/usr/lib/sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail: cannot open
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/lib/sendmail"
Subject: AA1002 READING difference between summer reading and outside reading
Folder: /usr/mail/hawks 11332
/usr/lib/sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail: cannot open
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/lib/sendmail"
Subject: AA1003 READING summer reading program draft proposal
Folder: /usr/mail/hawks 9551
/usr/lib/sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail: cannot open
Subject: AA1005 BOOSTERS Entertainment Books
Folder: /usr/lib/sendmail -t 7071
/usr/lib/sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail: cannot open
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/lib/sendmail"
It appears that procmail has decided to try to write the messages to a
file called sendmail -t rather than call the application sendmail. What
could possibly cause this?
Permissions on /usr/lib/sendmail allow execution by all users. I can't
figure out what went wrong.
