Good review of /etc/procmailrc, Sean. One thing I question, though:
'man procmail' details several commandline options which will affect
whether /etc/procmail is skipped. From memory, this includes:
-f-
-p
-m (rcfile)
(any rcfile)
IOW, if there's a .forward file necessary to invoke procmail
(or used in any event - but once procmail-as-LDA hands the
.forward-invoked program - even if that happens to be procmail -
then the procmail-as-LDA is out of the picture),
I don't believe the -f- or -f stops /etc/procmailrc. I'm
too coffee-depleted to think about testing it now, though.
On my system (NetBSD), having a .forward that calls procmail does
not stop /etc/procmailrc or the LDA.
