My ISP just installed sendmail8.8.8. The procmail version is 3.11pre7.

I've been trying to get procmail to reveal the envelope-sender and
haven't had any luck. I tried looking at $1 in a LOG statement
(LOG=$1) but always get nothing. Do I have to do something different
in .forward, or there is something I'm missing? Is the address in the
'From ' line at the top of the mail the same as envelope sender?
Looking at the sendmail.cf file, it is set with $g. Can someone help
me by explaining the envelope sender riddle?
Yes, the address on the "From " line is the envelope sender. If the
message has a Return-Path: header, then it would probably be easier to
use that instead, as then you don't have to deal with the date as found
at the end of the "From " header.
