Nancy asked,
I was going to suggest that people put the following in their
.procmailrc to check the value of ORGMAIL:
LOG="My ORGMAIL is now $ORGMAIL
"
I tried this on my system, which is running 3.22, and all I get
in my pmlog is this
My ORGMAIL is now
Did you by any chance invoke procmail with the -m option? That unsets
ORGMAIL (but not DEFAULT).
Good question and I don't know because I don't have full control
of this account. It's a Verio Signature Hosting account and when
Verio acquired Best.com, I emailed them and asked them to enable
Procmail but I don't know what they did. They use qmail so it's
possible -- maybe even likely -- that they are invoking procmail
with -m. Does anyone know? I've always wondered why the qmail
gang likes to invoke procmail with -m -- doesn't anyone
understand that?
But all told, I'd say that if you want to know the value of ORGMAIL,
procmail -v is the way to find out.
Thanks for this suggestion and also thanks to Dallman's
suggestion to change "now" to "currently" -- the updated version
is here:

All feedback, as always, is welcome,
Thanks,
Nancy
