See http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#procmail for some tips for
running procmail under qmail.

Curious...

This appears to a case where qmail and procmail disagree about the
meaning of "success". See the link above. Basically, what's happening
is that the procmail delivery failed for some reason (see procmail's
logs), but procmail isn't returning an exit status that qmail
interprets as indicating a failure.

Huh? binmail should be calling /usr/lib/sendmail, which should be
linked to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. Linking /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to
binmail is wrong.

Again, see the procmail logs.
