These are the permissions of my sendmail executable
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root 361600 Sep 29 2000 /usr/local/etc/sendmail
I noticed that the sendmail configuration designates procmail as the MTA..
could this be causing the errors i'm seeing?
Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9,
S=10/30, R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=10/30, R=20/40, D=$z:/,
T=X-Unix,
A=sh -c $u
(my other recipes that copy to mbox'es work fine, but this 'fallback' rule
isn't doing a very good job of forwarding as it should)
Thanks!

That's only the problem if the the sendmail binary is restricted so only
root has execute permission... which is what it sounds like. Has this
recipe ever worked? Can you see the permissions on the "real" sendmail
program? (/usr/lib/sendmail is probably a symbolic link.)

Reply to list please, or append "6" to "procmail" in address if you must.
Spammers' unrelenting address harvesting forces me to this...reluctantly.
