Re: Global mail filtering turned off after latest version installed

Excerpts from mail: (07-Apr-99) Global mail filtering turned off after latest 
version installed by Brett Glass
I just upgraded from the FreeBSD "port" of procmail, which was back at 
something like 3.11pre7, to 3.13.1. Immediately, global mail filtering 
stopped working. I need to know why, and how to fix this. My problem may 
reflect a need for a new variable option in the Makefile.
[...]
After the install, global mail filtering stopped working, as if 
/usr/local/etc/procmailrc no longer existed. I copied the same 
configuration file to /etc/procmailrc; still no global filtering. 
(Filtering from users' $HOME/.procmailrc files does seem to work, though.)

Did you change anything in config.h when you compiled 3.11pre7 that you
forgot to change when you compiled 3.13.1? I think you forgot to change the
ETCRC definition. ETCRC defaults to /etc/procmailrc, not
/usr/local/etc/procmailrc.
