  Sanitizing Mail on Panther Server
Subject:   Great article, but...

I read with great interest how to set this up. Got all the entries done in main.cf and master.cf (after making backups), created procmailrc, did a postfix reload, and then tried receiving mail. Nothing. "Strange", I thought, and ran mailq and saw this:


(temporary failure. Command output: procmail: Program failure (65) of "/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/deliver" )


Before reverting back to the old main.cf and master.cf files, nobody was getting mail from outside our mail server. Internal email was fine. I reverted back to the old main.cf and master.cf files, and things were back to normal.


Thoughts anyone?

    Ok. Got that licked. There was a tab after the first line in the main.cf file. Now I'm seeing this in system.log:

    fatal: connect #11 to subsystem private/procmail: Connection refused

    Weird.

      Hello- I'm also being clobbered by this error? Has anyone determined what this is caused by? Any help would be appreciated!

      Thanks

        Same problem here. I noticed that as soon as I restart mail, the master.cf file gets overwritten with the old default. In other words, I can type the required lines into a new master.cf, but simply starting the mail service (even from the command line) throws out those changes. Guys, is this happening to you?
