You can do this with procmail itself, just put the following rule at the very beginning in your .procmailrc :0 c: /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME The "c" flag means "carbon copy": everything will go to /var/spool/mail/yourlogin, but procmail will read the remaining .procmailrc as if it had not delivered to that folder. > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > sh: procmail not available for sendmail programs > 554 "|/home/mustang/grad/sstanley/bin/procmail -f- VERBOSE=on"... Service > unavailable However this error suggest that your sysadmin has decided to run sendmail through some sort of restricted shell. If this is true, I can just suggest to contact him and ask him politely to install procmail for everybody (i.e. in /usr/local/bin or whatever), and let sendmail to execute procmail from .forward.
