You're getting warmer!
1st, this *is* the different MDA - I've switched to this from sendmail because I know
at least 3 people have gotten it working with Postfix.
I was starting to think about procmail too. I haven't the faintest clue how it works.
I'm about to dig into the docs, but I wonder if anyone else out there knows anything
about procmail they'd care to tell about?
I noticed this in main.cf:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
#mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
Does that have anything to do with what you were talking about? Should I use the one
that's commented instead of the one that is currently uncommented?
