I am trying to gain deeper understanding of procmail by joining this
list, reading man pages, FAQs, etc. I am unclear on some of the
instructions however.
Procmail is configured as the LDA/MDA with sendmail 8.12.8 on RH8.0.
I have a global /etc/procmailrc that sets numerous variables, makes
a call to spamassassin and "includes" the rc for spambouncer.
My home directory has a .procmailrc that includes several additional
rc files, but every once in awhile, some of my list emails end up in
an unexpected location. But more importantyly, I am not seeing any
spamassassin headers in my messages.
Here are my questions;
1. Is the global /etc/procmailrc *always* used since it exists?
2. Are the recipes in the global file given a precedence over a
personal rc file? Or should I "INCLUDERC" the /etc/procmailrc
from my personal ~/.procmailrc file?
3. When is the right time in the /etc/procmailrc to DROPPRIVS?
I assume this means procmail is running as root or mail until
a DROPPRIVS=yes is encountered, at which time, procmail will
run as the user a message is to be delivered to.
4. When it is better to use the /etc/procmailrcs/some-recipe.rc
file location?
Thanks,
Dan
