That's it.. Procmail can't read /etc/procmailrc, or at least /etc is not readable by the user. I got the following error with 'cat sample-spam.txt | procmail /etc/procmailrc' -- procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/etc/procmailrc" procmail: Couldn't read "/etc/procmailrc" -- I moved the procmailrc file to the /tmp directory and it worked perfectly. So the story so far is that Sendmail is not passing the message to procmail and procmail isn't reading /etc/procmailrc .. I tried adding /tmp/procmailrc to the flags in sendmail for procmail, though it didn't help. I think I might also try and compile it on another machine to see if I get the same results.
