Just about all the postings I have read on the configuration of procmail is
relative to an individual's account.
My situation is different. I have a machine (Fedora Core 5) and most users
are known to the system through NIS.
However, procmail rejects mail to these users with "user unknown" in the
maillog. If I add aliases for each user in
/etc/mail/aliases to point to the mailbox on the NIS server, everything is
fine.
So my question: what should I do in my sendmail.mc or global procmailrc
files to get procmail to see the NIS maps
which indicate that these users really do exist.
As an add-on: if I use a .forward which filters the messages through ELM's
filter (remember ELM), mail gets delivered
since the NIS map is then seen.
