----- snippet from /etc/exim/exim.conf -----
# This transport is used for procmail
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
check_string = "From "
escape_string = " From "
user = $local_part
group = mail
---------------------------------------
Note the third line from the end. I changed the escape string from
the default ">From" to " From". I also do this manually when writing
a message (the color gets funny in vim so it's hard not to notice). I
guess if you don't use mbox you could escape the string as "From" or
simply not check it.
