Re: [cobalt-users] sendmail rule to block relay for certain email addresses

["Kevin D" <kdlists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the first time I will be using procmail, so I did some research on
it. I am a little confused with how sendmail and procmail work together.

I assume that sendmail is just a plain MTA, which handles SMTP dialog and
delivery. I assume that sendmail passes local mail to procmail, which then
sorts it into the appropriate user files so that the qpopper can retrieve
the mail from those files. Does this sound about right?

The /etc/procmailrc seems to be for global mail rules, and it looks like
users can have .procmailrc files in their root user directories for
individual mail filters. Is this correct?

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I needed.
