Thank you again for your many replies. I've actually learnt quite a lot
through watching what you all have to say (the manpages alone are, at best,
cryptic). My finished article is below (with email address munged to help
stop sniffers), but I do have a few questions still (see after)...

| "$SENDMAIL" $SENDMAILFLAGS -t \
-F "Stephen Allen" \
-f procmail(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
Questions...
* ! $ ^X-Loop: $\LOGNAME(_at_)$\HOSTNAME
a) I don't understand ! $ ^X-Loop.. etc... What does the $ mean here?
b) Why do $LOGNAME and $HOSTNAME have a \ after the $ symbols?
-I "X-Loop: $LOGNAME(_at_)$HOSTNAME" -X X-Loop: \
-I "To: procmail(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE" -X To: \
a) I've used -I instead of -A, although it seems I could have used either
(or even -i or -a). Is -I the 'normal' option to use?
| "$SENDMAIL" $SENDMAILFLAGS -t \
-F "Stephen Allen" \
-f procmail(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com
a) I've ommitted the From: header and used -f in the SENDMAIL command
instead. Is this OK?
b) I've used -t in the SENDMAIL command so it relies on the TO fields, is
this OK too?
The one last little bit I'm not sure about is how to correct the Message-ID.
I was informed by someone that I could probably do with changing that to
reflect the actual source domain (ie. mydomain.com). At the moment it's
just pegged with the name of my Windows machine.
Message-ID: <017401c5952c$70bd9720$c800a8c0(_at_)dangermouse>
I can only think that all my mail (and 99.9% of the rest of the worldss) is
sent like this, so is it a problem, or just normal?
Thank you very much again,
Steve :)
