Correctly, that should be that your machine has an A (Address) record in
your DNS zone, say for "mail.mydomain.com", specifying the IP address, but
the domain itself has MX (Mail eXchanger) records specifying
mail.mydomain.com as the mailhost for the domain.
When redhat boots it says welcome to mydomain.com but apparently fqdn is
defined elsewhere?
May be a matter between you and redhat. Of all the distributions, that's
the one I expressly avoid - too many problems with their releases (which
has nothing to do with procmail, so I'm not going to field questions about it).
I added the FEATURE(`local proc...) and recompiled the sendmail.cf
the pmlog now shows it functioning
Whoo-hoo. Easy fix, eh?
procmail: lock failure on "IN-testing.lock"
error while writing to "IN-testing"
Newsflash: knowing the contents of the _RECIPE_ would help. You might try
setting VERBOSE=ON when diagnosing your recipe, since that will help you to
isolate which recipe is doing what (though in this case, it's obvious that
you should home in on a recipe delivering to IN-testing).
Note that while you reported that your procmailrc wasn't being invoked
automatically, and that is now resolved, using your LIVE mail as a testbed
for learning procmail and testing new recipes is ill-advised. the URL in
my .sig provides a link for what I call a "sandbox" for testing. You
should consider checking that out and running your recipe within that
framework, which would dramatically improve your ability to _safely_ test
recipes without subjecting your email to the learning process.
As for your immediate problem - start with what directory you're trying to
write to (owner/permissions, and whether it even exists!) and what user the
recipe is running as.
