Bill, I'm pretty sure you need to create a symbolic link in /usr/adm/sm.bin/ to the
program you want piped to in order to make sendmail happy.  On my RaQ2s there are
symbolic links to procmail, the vacation script and majordomo's wrapper file.  If
you're on a RaQ1/3 or Qube it may be a different directory.  I did "locate procmail |
cat more" to find the directory on a RaQ2 since I knew procmail was in the directory
and I couldn't recall where it was on the system.
