You posted this SAME request yesterday. If there weren't any replies, it wasn't because your message didn't reach the list, but probably because not many people are using Courier (which for those that don't know, is a sendmail replacement, versus say, an IMAP replacement, or whatever).

Does this courier program _really_ use a an M4 config file named after sendmail? Why should it care? Why does procmail care?

The proper commands for a sendmail M4 config file for using Procmail as the LDA or to configure a procmail mailer (which is a TOTALLY separate thing from the LDA, and doesn't need to be set just to use procmail as an LDA), are well-documented in the sendmail documentation:

        FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl

        and

        MAILER(`procmail')dnl


Those are the appropriate M4 commands for enabling procmail in sendmail (FEATURE may include other options - I routinely set some delivery flags in my config, but then, I do other things in my config).

If you're asking how to configure something besides procmail for your MTA, this is NOT the place to ask it, even if you're using procmail as your LDA.

Perhaps this Courier MTA has a support list or newsgroup?


PS - you realize that your choice of email addresses means that in many cases, you will not receive NDNs?
