Hi all,

   I have just started to learn about procmail. I was trying to write
something simple, that greps the which sender the mail from. I tried the
whole night. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the following code:

# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones that
# are not.

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail

SENDER=`formail -rt`

:0
| echo "$SENDER" > $HOME/test.log

I was expecting to get only the email address like joe(_at_)serdang(_dot_)com

But I got the following:

To: joe(_at_)serdang(_dot_)com
Subject: Re: test
