The problem I have with this solution is that it's just covering procmail's ass for something it should be doing itself. When you specify a program delivery with ``| program'', TMDA has no knowledge of what program is or what program does. It simply hands the message off to program and walks away. It's now up to program to handle the message appropriately. It's not an accident why maildrop (a procmail replacement) doesn't have this problem. We'd be adding a special configuration variable just for procmail, because procmail isn't behaving correctly. I'm not saying "no", I'm just pointing out that poorly written software often has a non-positive impact on its surrounding environment, and that will never change unless problems are fixed at their source. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
