The other, non-rcfile, solution is to add the 'f' flag to the procmail
mailer in the sendmail.cf. This affects *all* invocations of the
procmail mailer, so think carefully whether this might cause problems
with, for example, other rcfiles mentioned in the mailertable.
Ideally this solution should be the perfect one - because all that these
rcfiles do is choose themail delivery locations on the filesystem.. but
the thing that I'm worried about it that now I've got two lines in the
mail file:
Both a "From " line and a "From: " line - will this confuse any mailers?
I'm using cucipop..
POP clients never see the "From " line: it's a detail of the storage
format as far as the POP server is concerned and MUST be striped or
otherwise transformed into a valid rfc822 format header when the message
is passed to the client. Some POP servers strip it; cucipop changes it
into a X-From_: header.
