Re: problems with default rcfile

it's because your supply procmail the -v switch
from the procmail man page...

       -v   Procmail will print its version number, display its compile time
configuration and exit.




     Hello!

     I am running with procmail version 3.14 on FreeBSD 3.4 STABLE.
Sendmail is version 8.9.3
We recently set up a global procmailrc file in

/usr/local/etc/procmailrc


    Now it is ignoring all the users who have a .procmailrc file in their
home directories. Perhaps I misunderstood the documentation, but I thought
it would check their home directories for a .procmailrc file and if one
wasn't found it would go to the global file.


    This is how I am calling procmail in the .forward file (for the user
'jo'):

  "|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail ||exit 75 #jo"



    And when I run:

    /usr/local/bin/procmail -v, I get this output:
---------------------------<SNIP>-----------------------------------------

   Can anyone tell me why I am getting this kind of behavior? I have
several users who have their own .procmailrc recipes that aren't working
now.
