However, I noticed that everything is fine for normal user accounts that
have been created with a valid shell, and hence have the .bashrc files
and so forth in their home directories, but I also have some users set
up as POP users only. I set up home directories with .procmailrc files
for these, but mail was only delivered there once I set them up with a
valid shell.
My concern is that I don't want to give shell permissions to mail-only
users.
You need to add an entry to /etc/shells containing either their
(non-standard) shell or the exact line.
/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/
The latter tells sendmail that _all_ users/uids can forward messages
to programs and files. On the other hand, putting someone's shell in
/etc/shells also means they can ftp to their own account. So, think
about what these users should be doing before you make you choice.
