True, but as Dallman pointed out, on setups where the mail is processed
by a mailhost different to the shellhost (I was on one of those for
years), testing anything is a pain (esp when they have different OSes)
and you must run through a resource file.
In a situation like that, drafting an rcfile like this:
LOG="PATH is $PATH
SENDMAIL is $SENDMAIL
ORGMAIL is $ORGMAIL
"
HOST
and running
procmail .thatrcfile < /dev/null
will also report the values on the shellhost. If the mailhost's setup
is different from that of the shellhost (I knew Brits had taken to
saying "different to," which is a ridiculous choice of preposition for
expressing divergence, but now New Zealanders are doing it too?), you
can't find out from an interactive call, with or without an rcfile. You
have to use an rcfile *and* send mail to the account.
