If you have a short memory, let me remind you that sendmail's default MDA in bo is, surprise deliver. So it is perfectly reasonable to have procmail not setuid on a bo system, which is what I did. > should probably be more graceful about handling it, it is not a > release-critical error. A vast majority of people (like everyone but you) It is release-critical because during the upgrade to hamm, without warnings, sendmail started to use something that can't be used as an MDA. > don't go breaking procmail for the fun of it.

It is sendmail's fault because it changed its default behaviour without telling anyone and it broke. > I'm sorry, but I really think you're being an ass over this.

I've provided you with a simple fix, do a stat in sensible-mda to determine whether it is setuid or not, if it's not, skip it. > define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/bin/deliver') > define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `deliver -r $g $u') > define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', `DFMlmns') It's not my problem, I've removed procmail. The bug is that if anyone has a *bo* system where procmail is installed but not setuid and they uupgrade to the sendmail from hamm, hell will break loose. > Both the maintainer and I (as a concerned third party and maintainer of > deliver) don't think this is important enough to hold up hamm.
