Package: procmail Version: 3.22-16 Severity: normal The manpage suggests that -m turns procmail into a general-purpose filter. Thus, the following rather surprises me:
piper:~> cat cat :0 f |/bin/cat piper:~> echo test | procmail -m VERBOSE=yes cat | wc -l procmail: [23799] Wed May 23 00:53:22 2007 procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=." procmail: Rcfile: "cat" procmail: Executing "/bin/cat" Folder: **Bounced** 0 If I leave the rcfile empty, I get $?=73. Removing the f flag makes no real difference: piper:~> echo test | procmail -m VERBOSE=yes cat | wc -l procmail: [23791] Wed May 23 00:53:06 2007 procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=." procmail: Rcfile: "cat" procmail: Executing "/bin/cat" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/bin/cat" Folder: /bin/cat 0 Either the software is buggy or the documentation off.
