Quite...it is very important how the mail arrives. On my box I have EXIM
running(sendmail replacement) and mail is delivered directly to my box.
Apon delivery the system looks for a .forward file on a users home
directory, this is generally used to the forward all mail to another user,
however if it contains only:
|/usr/local/bin/procmail
then all mail is piped through procmail and is filtered. Perhaps someone
more familar with sendmail can tell me whether it does the same, as far as
I know, it does.
