I already considered each point that you suggest. I simply hoped that the same
possibility to change ForwardPath in sendmail was implemented in some way in
procmail - I don't want that users who develop large applications have their
homes on the mail hub, which also is a NIS server (so it MUST know the true
homes). So I will re-generate procmail, and give the users some restritected
way to edit their .forward/.procmailrc in the non-standard location.
Thanks a lot for the confirmation.

I am running sendmail on a robust RedHat 7.2 server, using procmail as MDA.
As
some home directories are accessed through NFS, I would like that procmail
looks for .procmailrc, not in NFS-mounted homes on weak workstations, but in
a
local directory on the server. I browsed anywhere I could, ran many
different
tests, it seems that the only solution (posted in this list years ago) is to
change PROCMAILRC in the source and compile procmail again. Before I go this
way, has anybody another solution, using (smart !) command-line options or
rcfiles ?
This came up last month. Here's my response to that query:
