I'm using Sendmail (you know, the package called Sendmail :) I cannot
disable nobody@<local host names> in the access file since that'd bust
the system formmail.pl too. Nor can I write a wrapper -- what will
block on? Once the local SMTP transaction has started there is no way
of distinguishing between messages sent by the legitimate formmail and
the rogue ones.

Nope, procmail need an executable sendmail binary to forward messages,
to bounce them, etc. I don't think dependency is the problem here.
