I have the following recipe in my .procmailrc file. I use it as an accept
filter to make certain that messages from users of my shareware programs do
not get rejected. I added MAILER-DAEMON to the list to make sure that none
of the later recipes would reject MAILER-DAEMON messages. My question is
why did the junk email (listed after the procmail log excerpt) get accepted
as coming from MAILER-DAEMON?
