Hi Philip!

You probably don't need those rules.  If procmail is the local delivery
agent, then you can simply put recipes in /etc/procmailrc and procmail

Is important to remember that if you put .procmailrc on user's
home directory, procmail will search for it every time that a
message needs to be delivered and also you can keep a trace
on each user.  In my opinion it is more flexible.

will automatically use them when delivering to users, with the proviso
that addresses that forward to off-campus aren't filtered.  The
sendmail.cf modification is only necessary if the proviso is a problem,

And also there's a problem if you change your sendmail.cf file.
If you use m4 to generate your sendmail.cf file, all the rules
that you've added will be lost.

All the best,

Contrary to popular belief, UNIX is user friendly.  It just happens
to be very selective about who it decides to make friends with.
