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?
Is this behaviour by design?
