Procmail is to modify and forward messages to Blogger, to be posted on
my blog. However, these messages are vanishing at Blogger. The odd
thing is, if I simply Mail a message, it works fine. So something's
going wrong somewhere. Perhaps in the envelope information procmail is
using?

check your maillog. Or run your recipe inside a sandbox -- my sandbox
includes a script redefinition of $SENDMAIL, so forwarded messages (using !
syntax) as well as anything invoking $SENDMAIL within the script (versus
improperly hardcoding "sendmail") will go through the script, which stores
the entire message as well as the specific parameters passed to $SENDMAIL.

Makes it pretty easy to confirm what would have been sent, and is quite
useful for avoiding sending crap around to people (in the event of testing
forwarding recipes).


I use a procmail recipe to feed emails into a blogging mechanism I wrote,
but that's local to my system, nor is it a package.

Could you clue me in on how to do this? I've just been changing the ! email(_at_)server to my own email address, so I can see the output.
