Anthony told us further,
| So, the sendmail flag in /etc/procmail does not need to be there?
The assignment of SENDMAIL in /etc/procmailrc normally does not need to be
there. Your system was not an exception, and having such an assignment
messed things up.
| I think this was the problem:
| My /etc/procmailrc file had this line
| SENDMAIL /usr/bin/procmail
| it pukes with that.
Yup, that will do it. In procmailrc code, stating the name of a variable,
with neither a dollar sign on the left nor an equal sign on the right,
unsets it (the equal sign can be detached with an intervening space, unlike
assignments in sh). So the unattached appearance of "SENDMAIL" there unset
$SENDMAIL, and the unattached appearance of "/usr/bin/procmail" there was
the syntax error that made procmail barf.
| So now I have no mention of sendmail in my /etc/procmailrc file like you
| suggest and all works well. I guess I got confused between postfix and
| sendmail.
The confusion was only in your second attempt to deal with it. That wasn't
how the mistake got into your /etc/procmailrc in the first place. But it's
fixed now. Good luck.
