Re: Issue with OpenSMTPD, procmail and comsat
Hi Gilles,
the following diff turns off the noise in /var/log/{messages,daemon}
but this is a hack and not a solution.

Not working. The two spaces betweem the mail address and the date do
not only occur in /var/mail/$USER they also appear in the filtered
mails. Of course comsat(8) is not looking at them and my mail
user-agent (mutt) is accepting the two spaces.

interesting, it's not clear to me how this can happen but at least this
means the fix will not be a special case.
can you try:
procmail -f %{mbox.from} --
i'll try to reproduce the bug at home but I'm unable before tonight.

You forgot to mention what version of OpenBSD you are using ?

I don't like the idea that because procmail produces a corrupt line that
comsat doesn't understand, smtpd should have a special case and parse an
aliases mapping or forward files looking for the string "procmail".
If you're running current, you might want to try:
"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f %{mbox.from} || exit 75"
in case it helps procmail produce a correct sender.
Can you provide me with the corrupt line procmail includes so I can
check if it is invalid indeed ?

Issue with OpenSMTPD, procmail and comsat
Hi, I figured out an issue with opensmtpd, procmail, and comsat. The .forward for procamil must be "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f - || exit 75" The -f - option makes procmail to include a dummy mail-from header line. But this line is corrupt. comsat(8) does not like this: Sep 1 19:10:41 ws comsat[11416]: ':/var/mail/dra' is invalid in /var/log/messages. But mutt can read this mail. Without the -f - option in the .forward file my mailspool is corrupted because of the missin first line (mail-from header). The currect solution is: I have turned off comsat in inetd.conf. But i am unsatisfied with this. It would be better if opensmtpd would include the mail-from header if processinf the .forward to procmail. -dra
