Is is possible to get procmail to output something - not to the LOG

custom error message when doing a bounce. Currently I have to set up
sendmail to call a special procmail wrapper script instead of calling
procmail directly and the wrapper script does the following:
------
#!/bin/sh
MSG=`mktemp /var/tmp/procmail.wrpr.XXXXXX`
cat - > $MSG
/usr/bin/procmail "$@" < $MSG
EXITVAL=$?
if [ $EXITVAL = 77 ]; then
echo "Your e-mail went through a blacklisted server:"
.../scripts/generate-rbl-details < $MSG
echo ""
echo "Because of that our system decided to reject your e-mail."
echo "If you believe this was a mistake, please resend your
message"
echo 'with "please read" added to the Subject field.'
echo ""
fi
rm -f $MSG
exit $EXITVAL
------
I do not understand why do you need the stderr? I guess that you
want to send a message when you find that "e-mail went through a
blacklisted server". So, why don't you do it instead of set
the $EXITVAL?
Well, with my wrapper script, I get sendmail to send a "full-fledged"
bounce message telling "Insufficient permissions" and giving the script
output as additional information. I could do it myself, but it's much
easier to let sendmail deal with it...
