Many of us told you to check your MDA configuration which we all
believe to be "procmail". MTAs like sendmail normally do not save
messages directly to user
mailboxes. They hand over the delivery work to MDAs like procmail. For
procmail, there may be system wide configuration in "/etc/procmailrc"
file or per user configuration in user home directories (e.g.
/home/tony/.procmailrc). Contents of procmailrc file might look like
this:
---------
LOGNAME=/var/log/procmail
DROPPRIVS=yes
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
<snip>
my procmailrc file contains just this:
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
* < 500000
| /usr/bin/spamc
maybe those lines are the culprit. When newly installed I backed up the
original file procmailrc file and it contained just this:
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mbox
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
I've now edited the procmailrc file back to this original version so
i'll keep and eye on the headers...
