      Running postfix and latest procmail.

The latest source distribution, or the latest hacked version as per some 
unknown distro?

     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!

DROPPRIVS=YES

or, you could specify a different config file for sendmail.

Note that the -f parameter is likely to generate a warning, in the form of 
an inserted header about a non-trusted user setting the envelope sender 
(unless each user for which this forward operation is taking place is 
listed as a trusted user in sendmail).
