In /etc/procmailrc,
:0
* ? test -f $HOME/.procmailrc
{
DROPPRIVS=yes
SWITCHRC=$HOME/.procmailrc
}
If this is used in the /etc/procmailrc file itself and not from an
INCLUDERC, then the better choice would be to make procmail think it
hit the end of the rcfile by setting SWITCHRC to /dev/null:
:0
* ? test -f $HOME/.procmailrc
{
SWITCHRC = /dev/null
}
That also lets procmail perform security checks on the user's .procmailrc
to make sure it's owned by the correct user and has 'safe' permissions.
