That's ok, I have compiled procmail on another machine and it works perfectly.
But sendmail will only run procmail if the message is destined for a local mailbox. I have a local mailbox that is aliased to my primary mailbox in another domain. Or if I send a message to another domain, sendmail does not run procmail?
