Re: Procmail as pass-through filter for Sendmail MTA with no local delivery?

It's the same kind of thing I've been googling all day. Nothing especially
helpful.

From the list two weeks ago.  Please respond to list if
you need more help or that this is sufficient.

--Hank

The man page provides an example of PM as
a general MTA filter -- that is, modifying all
outbound messages on a sendmail server.  In fact,
the example they site is for outbound mail.

Well, there's the following I found on usenet:


<http://groups.google.com/groups?q=sendmail+remove+received+procmail&start=1

nfi.freeshell.org&rnum=20>

<http://free.polbox.pl/a/anfi/> (the homepage of Andrzej Filip)  There is
no info on this technique there, but it's worth noting anyway.  I've
separatley posted to Andrzej inquiring about making any updates to the the
above referenced material more publicly accessible on his website.  I'll
summarize any response here.

The bottommost two posts in that thread may be of use to you.  I've tested
neither.

More interesting reading.


For making Sendmail config hacks, I highly recommend running a test
server,
on which you can make the config hacks without putting real email at risk.

Subject: Procmail as pass-through filter for Sendmail MTA with no local

Is anyone using procmail with Sendmail to do filtering without doing any
local delivery?  Ie, where Sendmail is only acting as a mail
exchanger/MTA
for other downstream MTAs?

I realize this will involve some customizing of sendmail.cf, and am
curious
if anyone's done this and had any success/failure/other stories.
