Hello all,
I have been lurking on this list for about a month now and I am interested
in setting up procmail on a Solaris 2.6 box that I administer. I have
a couple questions from a sysadmin point of view on setting thing up
correctly. My initial goals are to use Procmail as my local mailer
and to deliver mail to users home directories instead of /var/mail.
Question 1.
When creating my sendmail.mc file do I need to list the
MAILER(local) in addition to FEATURE(local_procmail)? I am
using the sample from
http://www.iicons.com/sendmail/configme.html at the bottom of
the page as an example. Here it is so you can see what I am
talking about.
divert(0)dnl
include(../m4/cf.m4)
VERSIONID(`$Header$')
OSTYPE(solaris2)
FEATURE(nouucp)
FEATURE(local_procmail)
MAILER(local)
MAILER(smtp)
Question 2.
Is this all that need to be done to use Procmail as my
local mailer? From the reading of FAQ's and how-to's
it appears so but the majority of the documentation that
I read appears to be from an end user's point of view
who is trying to work on a system that the sysadmin will
NOT install Procmail in any official capacity.
Thank you,
Jerry Kemp
