Re: Processing /etc/procmailrc first?

I'm using procmail as my MDA from sendmail (nearly standard RH 6.2
setup), but I'd like for the global rc file at /etc/procmailrc to get
processed before user rc files.  Is there a way to do this?

Spend some more time in the manpages - 'man procmailrc' contains the following passage:

If no rcfiles and no -p have been specified on the command line, procmail will, prior to reading $HOME/.procmailrc, interpret commands from /etc/procmailrc (if present). Care must be taken when creating /etc/procmailrc, because, if circumstances permit, it will be executed with root privileges (contrary to the $HOME/.procmailrc file of course).
