My gut feeling is that it's your shell that requires the term variable when
setting up the redirection.
You might want to set a dummy TERM=vt100 or TERM=ansi just to prevent
warnings/errors such as these.

Hello,
I'm new to the list, but when I did a google search, I didn't see
anything on this topic for procmail.
I recently added a test recipe to send an auto-response using formail.
Everything works, BUT, there is a logged complaint, "TERM: Undefined
variable.". I haven't got a clue how to clear up this annoying
complaint. Any help is welcome! :-) Why would procmail/formail
care if $TERM is set or not? Or, is it sendmail (v8.12.3)?
Here is the recipe:
:0 hc
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* ^From:(_dot_)*someaddr(_at_)some(_dot_)domain(_dot_)com
* !^X-Loop: myaddr(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
| (formail -r -I"From: myaddr(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
-A"X-Loop: myaddr(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com" ; \
cat $NOTIFY ) | $SENDMAIL -t
I use the mailstat -k command to see a breakdown of the log:

The actual log for this transaction looks like this:
