My setup is: getmail -> maildrop/mailfilter -> mutt -> dma I'm uncertain how to use dma for system mail messages, ex cron output. dma's docs say that it doesn't listen on port 25. I had found a web site that showed how to replace sendmail with dma, but can't find it again. Forgot what words I searched on.

This is the same setup on 6.4 and it worked fine. If making procmail available (or mandatory) for all users I can see justification for what you are trying. But for just one user why not keep it simple with a "|/usr/local/bin/procmail" in /etc/aliases? I aliased root to me and now it works. Thank you for the tip.

I would like to get away from sendmail or any other MTA for that matter, but never found solution for handling the emails generated by the system. Check out DragonFlyBSD's dma(1). It's designed just for this purpose. -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Sendmail & Procmail
I just upgraded to FBSD 8.0 from 6.4 and I'm having a problem with sendmail passing email to procmail. I only use this combination for email from root's cron jobs. Right now emails to me from cron go to /var/mail/ckern1. Here's my mc file: divert(-1) # # Copyright (c) 1983 Eric P. Allman # Copyright (c) 1988, 1993 # The Regents of the University of California.
