        I would like to have the following setup: mail comes to my
sendmail-8.11.6-3 server and then the mail is sent to procmail and then is
sent to another sendmail server via uucp-dom. I found docs explaining how
to set up sendmail to send mail to procmail, but I cannot find any
documentation that is clear about how to setup up /etc/procmailrc file to
send all mail to uucp-dom. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Well, I'd have to say that the right direction would be to a sendmail group.

Perhaps, but what I want to know is how do I invoke uucp from procmail?


By all rights,

I'm not sure what this means.

if you have sendmail configured to send via uucp (say, via a
mailertable entry), you should be able to send via UUCP merely by having
procmail forward to an address which would invoke the UUCP mailer in sendmail.

I'm now sure I understand you correctly. You are saying the best way to
invoke uucp from procmail is to have an entry in the mailertable db?


A search of deja^H^H^H^Hgooglenews for "sendmail mailertable forward uucp"
netted several likely candidates, including:

<http://groups.google.com/groups?q=sendmail+mailertable+forward+uucp&hl=en&selm=MMEAD.95Sep20103705%40Glock.COM&rnum=1>

<http://groups.google.com/groups?q=sendmail+mailertable+forward+uucp&hl=en&selm=3v3kj1%243lt%40keltia.frmug.fr.net&rnum=10>

They're both rather dated, but should put you on the right track.

This is not what I'm looking for. I can send messages from sendmail to
uucp and from sendmail to procmail. Again I want to know how to send
messages from procmail to uucp. Thanks for taking the time to look at
google groups for me, I've been looking there for 3 days now and I've found
references to the sendmail->procmail->uucp setup but no specific
documentation.


FTR, _procmail_ itself doesn't _do_ anything via smtp, uucp, pop, imap,
etc.  It manipulates files, and can invoke programs.

Ah, this is what i want to know. How do I invoke uucp from procmail.
