[KLUG Members] Question on sendmail. ***new***

[Adam Bultman]

Tidbit more info: it's now procmail.
Procmail is delivering to .maildir.  Here's what's in my cf file:


 P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL,
 R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
              T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u


That's the same line in sendmail.cf as is on this machine, yet it delivers
to .maildir instead. Is this a compilation option? Anyway, I obviously
have the culprit, so I think I can fix it now.  BUt it's odd that it's
always delivering to .maildir.  And not to root.  Ever.  No mail to root.
