and it appears that all of my e-mail went into a big black
hole when /usr/bin/procmail was removed.
The way this is supposed to work (and works in informal tests
involving stuff like
sh -c 'exec /usr/bin/nonesvch || exit 75' ; echo $?
but I haven't actually tried this on my actual live .forward file, for
semi-obvious reasons) is to return with an error code of 75, which
should cause the message to be requeued. Have you checked whether
there are a lot of messages for you in the queue?
sendmail -bp -qRhaferman ... if you have login access on the host
where mail is being processed, and have read access to the queue.
I guess I could have built a wrapper around procmail, for example
<...>
Any comments?
Further wrapping should not be necessary, I think, if things are
correctly configured. (But if you're running smail instead of a real
sendmail, I think somebody told me once that it's not really equipped
to handle these kinds of bouces.)
