My setup is: getmail - maildrop/mailfilter - mutt - dma I'm uncertain how to use dma for system mail messages, ex cron output. dma's docs say that it doesn't listen on port 25. I had found a web site that showed how to replace sendmail with dma, but can't find it again. Forgot what words I searched on.

Sendmail Procmail
I just upgraded to FBSD 8.0 from 6.4 and I'm having a problem with
sendmail passing email to procmail. I only use this combination for
email from root's cron jobs. Right now emails to me from cron go to
/var/mail/ckern1.

I created the cf file using make cf, then make install and make restart.
What have I missed. This is the same setup on 6.4 and it worked fine.
Thank you in advance
