I have posted this before but have not seen my own posting so let me try again. All of the information on procmail I have seen deal with one's own .prodmailrc file. I had configured procmail on a DEC Alpha server running Digital UNIX but am having problems with procmail under Fedora 5. Procmail is enabled in sendmail. However when /usr/bin/procmail is invoked even if there is no /etc/procmailrc file or a ~/.procmailrc file procmail fails with EX_TEMPFAIL. I know that this means that there is an error in permissions but I am stumped as to how to reset the permissions. The permissions on on /usr/bin/procmail are -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 69977 Jul 14 13:11 procmail which is what make install-suid set. procmail is registered in smrsh. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
