I could have sworn this limitation was documented somewhere in the
manpages, but I can't find it now:
$@ only expands to procmail's arguments when procmail is
doing the expanding. If any characters from $SHELLMETAS
occur in the command then the expansion is left to the
shell which does not have that information availible to it.
Work around (untested), if your shell is new enough:
oSHELLMETAS = $SHELLMETAS
SHELLMETAS
:0 ciw
| $SHELL $SHELLFLAGS 'echo "{ $@ }" >> $LOGFILE 2>&1' "$@"
SHELLMETAS = $oSHELLMETAS
oSHELLMETAS
(newer versions of /bin/sh, including POSIX compliant ones should
accept arguments after the -c options argument as values to be placed
in $1, etc)
