I've noticed that whenever mail which is aliased by
sendmail ( /etc/aliases ) as either a file or a
pipe to a program, that procmail will complain about
being unable to write to the log file:
Sep 29 10:07:48 smtp sendmail[11343]: e8TH7mU11343: to="|/usr/local/majordomo/
wrapper resend -l neotac neotac-list",

elay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30024, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
Sep 29 10:07:48 smtp procmail[11348]: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmai
l.log"
When run from the aliases file, sendmail invokes procmail as the default
user specified in the sendmail.cf, probably either "daemon", "mail", or
"sendmail". Figure out which one it is, create a new logfile
("/var/log/procmail.aliases.log"?) that is writable by that user and
then use that in those rcfiles. *Don't* set the default user to root!
