To respond to John Conover,
1. The procmail and smartlist lists still exist; they're at
lists.rwth-aachen.de now instead of informatik.rwth-aachen.de.
2.
| The reason for the question is that:
|
| :0:
| * ^sender:.*something
| afile
|
| on FreeBSD is attempting to file the message in a file named '*'.
The FreeBSD site is using an extremely old version of procmail that didn't
grok asterisks. Try
:1:
^sender:.*something
afile
