If it hasn't already ocurred to you, you might want to experiment with this
first on an isolated host. If you're on a host with live users, and
tweaking /etc/procmailrc, you're potentially interfering with REAL
email. That'a a bad place to learn, even if it's only YOUR email.
For instance, for learning purposes, /dev/null is better replaced with a
mailbox of some nature that you can retrieve messages from (though on a
systemwide procmailrc, that might be a trick, since envelope data may not
be included - even so, it's better than NOTHING at all).
On a shell machine some users will also have their own .procmailrc
files.
Indeed.
I take it that if any of the above recipes are activated,
then the users own .procmailrc won't be.
If a recipe is delivered to (that is, it's conditions result in a delivery
to the delivery portion of that recipe), and the recipe doesn't have a 'c'
(copy) or 'f' (filter) flag, then yea, the message handling stops right there.
