Yes, it failed because $1 did not contain what was expected. I use sendmail nad
procmail as local delivery agent. What do you mean with the command line the
runs procmail? The procmailrc I posted is .procmailrc, which procmail will run
while performing local delivery, I am right?
You mean, there is no way to change the value of HOST on procmail?
Thanks for your help. I really appreciated.
Cheers!
