This is a syntax error, maybe that's the problem. Procmail uses
regular expressions, not glob patterns.
procmail has no problems handling that regex.... (a glob is a word
expansion of a *, a regex is a "anything goes" match). man regex, man
glob.. atleast, thats what my coddled brain is spitting out. im probably
way off the mark, as usual.
Still no logging? You +are+ aware that Procmail has extensive logging
facilities for exactly situations like this, yes?
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/adm/procmail.log
i have that in the rc file im using. doesnt that take care of it?

Oops, I thought you +were+ trying to get it working as your LDA.
no, it works just a-ok hunky dory as my lda. I need to use it to filter
all outbound mail thats relayed through my machine (and eventually all
incoming mail.. but i figure if the ruleset is stuck in the right place,
it could handle both cases in one fell swoop)
Anyhow, there are two different Procmail FEATUREs as I recall ... and
anyhow, if you can't get the M4 stuff to work, I'd concentrate on
figuring out why.
its not so much that the m4 doesnt work as much as it is that ill forget
and leave out a featureset thats needed. im not to concerned with m4, as
it is -just- a macro processor/compiler, and its pretty easy to figure out
what rulesets i need to throw into the mix to figure out whats going on.
