procmail preline acting like a local user
Hi, Just installed qmail and procmail on a FreeBSD 4.0 box.qmail works fine if I delete .qmail With .qmail containing less .qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/procmail I find in /var/log/maillog local _|_/var/qmail/bin/preline_/usr/local/bin/procmail@adsl-6etc. etc later I get no_mailbox as to be expected. That is, procmail is attemting to deliver to a local address, clearly a non-existant local address, on my box. It is as if preline is not being executed but is being treated as an address. Advice please. Thanks Jeff

Re: procmail preline acting like a local user - again, sorry
Thanks, this was, of course, the fix. This post is now mostly for the archives so another will not fall into the 'American whitespace hole" . With appreciation to a list that responds professionally and quickly. Hopefully in a bit I too will be able to contribute.
