    We've just migrated to a new HP Alpha box running Tru64 5.1B. In preparing
    for the migration I updated our version of procmail to the latest and
    greatest version, 3.22. The sendmail version is 8.11.1. Our former Alpha
    box had a much older version of both sendmail (pre-8.6) and procmail so I
    had to make changes to do the new installation including modifying
    src/authenticate.c and setting MAILSPOOLHOME to "/mail/INBOX" so the
    default mailbox is ~user/mail/INBOX since this isn't handled by
    /etc/procmailrc anymore.

    I modified sendmail.cf to include this:

    Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=SAw5:|/@glDFMPhsfn, S=10/40, R=20/50,
            T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
            A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u

    What baffles me is that some mail is delivered to ~user/mail/INBOX and some
    goes to /usr/spool/mail/user. It doesn't seem to execute /etc/procmailrc
    anymore either. Has anyone else run into a situation like this? I have
    mail piling up where it doesn't belong and I need to get this resolved
    quickly. Thanks.
