I still think this is true, but my problem now is that after /etc/procmail gets done with it, it's delivered to the user's mailbox, and it's done. The mail delivery process isn't paying attention to the user's .procmailrc file (where mail should be getting sorted). Anyone know why this might be?
First, you have got to tell postfix to use procmail for local delivery, either with Yast, or manually. You must also define a user to get root's mail, it's explained on the postfix faq: Root's mail is delivered to nobody If you use procmail (or some other command) for local mail delivery, Postfix will not deliver mail as root. Instead, Postfix runs procmail (or whatever) as nobody. Perhaps some day Wietse will trust Postfix enough to run external commands as root. As a side effect, /etc/procmailrc is not even read - at least, mine wasn't: it is owned by root, so procmail can not even read it, being run as "nobody". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
