The prog mailer is generally for aliases that pipe mail into programs -- eg: msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s" It's not often used --- too much opportunity for abuse over the network. About the only thing I remember ever using it was majordomo, but I suppose it could be something to do with anti-spam or anti-virus scanning. The question now must be why your system is using the 'prog' mailer to do final delivery of your e-mail? Got any interesting entries in /etc/mail/mailertable or /etc/mail/aliases ?
