I upgraded a potato box to woody recently. With the current
sendmail (8.12.1-2) and procmail (3.21.20011028.3.15.2-2), it looks
like the mail delivery agent (MDA) is sensible-mda, which seems to
use procmail as a first choice.
What I'm noticing is that messages in my mailbox now have a
second, escaped "From " header line, e.g.:
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 14 11:58:18 2001
>From tres Wed Nov 14 11:58:18 2001
This causes various odd problems, the most obvious and annoying
being that it mostly breaks Mutt's "bounce" function--the message
is basically mangled at the receiving end, with everything from the
">From " line forward moved into the body of the message. Yech...
Removing procmail solves the problem, but I need procmail for
mail filtering. I've noticed that there's a "wishlist" bug #119104
against procmail which seems to reference this problem, but it doesn't
offer a solution. I suppose I could reconfigure sendmail to force
using a different MDA... Any suggestions?
