sendmail 8.9.3 and $HOME/.forward calling procmail

1999-12-14 02:48:02

Good morning.
I've just replaced my default sendmail 8.8.x on my True64 unix alpha
machine with the newer 8.9.3 version.

I tried to compile sendmail.cf using 
        FEATURE(`local_procmail')
        define(`LOCAL_SHELL_PATH', `/usr/libexec/smrsh')
        FEATURE(smrsh) 
in my relay.mc

But I found that if I use smrsh I can't call procmail from my
$HOME/.forward . It happens that, given my .forward as follow:

"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 75 lele"

when it is parsed my smrsh it is rejected before beeing passed to
procmail since it contains ampersands (&).

I would like my users to individually use procmail from their .forward,
but I would like to use smrsh as well. Is there any solution?

Thanks from Italy
Emanuele
