Dr. Daia has already followed up with exactly my reaction,
D> Not really that easy if you don't have root privileges. :-)
Absolutely. On this list and list-managers I find that people with root
privileges have the dangedest time remembering that not everybody does.
When Era suggested this to Harry Putnam,
E> :0

E> | $SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS reader(_at_)newsguy(_dot_)com
E> ... where foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com is the address whose .procmailrc contains
this.
Harry replied,
P> This is working and putting a nice little header in their that even I

Just a thought: instead of needing to hard-code the appropriate replacement
for foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com on every site where Harry wants to use this recipe,
wouldn't
$LOGNAME(_at_)$HOST work just as well and be more flexible? What if Harry wants
to recommend the code to someone else in a comparable position? (OK, so that
person still has to edit the destination address.)
