sendmail & procmail

Hi,

we've upgraded to DU4.0e and now I get:

Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 <"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail
-f-||exit 75 #bauer"_at_itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>... Cannot mail directly to
programs

/usr/lib/sendmail points to /usr/sbin/sendmail and this is
identical to /usr/sbin/sendmail.v8.8.8
diff /usr/sbin/sendmail.v8.8.8 /usr/sbin/sendmail

I've checked the group write permissions on /var /var/spool
/var/spool/mqueu /etc (as said in the sendmail FAQ).

I've checked the file permision ownership of my .forward file.

I've ensured that my login shell is listed in /etc/shells (as
pointed out in the procmail FAQ).

If any kind person out there has some working procmail with
the original sendmail shipped with DU4.0e, I would
appreciate if she/he could give me the chance to look into
the sendmail.cf file.

We are using a mail relay (DU3.2c) on which procmail is
working. However some programs always try to mail to
user_at_machine.instute.university.XX and with these messages
I'll get the error message above.

Will summarize.

Regards,

Holger
