"Suspicious rcfile"

2000-01-27 15:57:11
Hi-

I just switched my server

   from an ss5 running Solaris 2.5, sendmail.com's 8.9.3 
   and procmail 3.11 defined as the local mailer in sendmail.cf.

   to a u5 running Solaris 7, Sun's sendmail 8.9.1 
   and procmail 3.14 *not* defined as the local mailer.

In /var/adm/messages, I now get:

Jan 23 18:59:08 geosci procmail[12094]: Suspicious rcfile 
"/home/dave/.procmailrc"

Has something changed with the .forward file?  I used:

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #dave"

and *all* mail to me bounced yesterday morning.

The procmail man page says to use:

"|exec /usr/local/bin.sun4/procmail"

and I've seen many various alternatives listed on web pages.
What's the answer?

Also, yesterday, one of my lists received a porn post from
nottynina(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com(_dot_)  I once tried to use SmartList (3.11) 
to prevent such posts but not very successfully.  Any ideas
on the best way to prevent such spam from reaching a local
sendmail mailing list?
Thanks.

Dave Robbins
