How do I run sendmail non root from procmail

2007-08-15 21:00:02

      Running postfix and latest procmail.

      In coming server pretends to be local delivery, but procmail is used 
to redirect to another true pop server, complicated but has its uses.

      Using the following /etc/procmailrc

:0
* ^From \/[^ ]*
| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f $MATCH 
$LOGNAME(_at_)popper(_dot_)lightlink(_dot_)com

      Because procmail runs as root, sendmail (postfix) complains
about being called as root even though sendmail is not setuid.

      Can I get procmail to call sendmail non setuid root, the warning 
messages /var/log/mail are gigabytes a day!
