I see some problems with that. $HOME might contain whitespace.
That doesn't matter. It doesn't need quoting once it is already
assigned to a var.
On the other hand, I was wrong not to consider the need for quotes
around the test statement in the condition line. There they'd be
needed, if there is whitespace in $HOME.
Has anyone ever actually seen a Unix filesystem with whitespace
in the path to $HOME?
The other thing I'm wondering is, why can't we just conduct the OP's
test this way at the bottom of the /etc/procmailrc?
----------------------------------------------
SWITCHRC = $HOME/.procmailrc
# we should only still be here if the above file was not present.
# we will drop off the end, and the message should land in the
# user's $DEFAULT, yes?
----------------------------------------------
I haven't tested the above. I am under the impression that elevated
privileges would be dropped at the point of the SWITCHRC, if it succeeds.
But I am not entirely sure. Ruud, or somebody?
