			==About==
			Instructions which actually worked for configuring [[sendmail]] to deliver through [[procmail]] are [http://commons.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/SpamAssassin/Integrating_SpamAssassin_with_sendmail here]. Note the following:
			* "dnl" at the end of a command is optional, if there are no comments following it (it apparently means "delete from here to the start of the next line")
			* The "FEATURE(`local_procmail',`/path/to/procmail')dnl" line must go '''before''' the existing "MAILER(`local')" line
			* Be sure to restart sendmail after applying the change. (If not using Webmin to do the editing, also be sure to rebuilt the sendmail.m4 file.)

This is designed to be used in [http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/features.html#mailertable mailertables]. For example, a common question is "how do I forward all mail for a given domain to a single person?". If you have this mailer defined, you could set up a [http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/features.html#mailertable mailertable] reading:

<pre>
host.com procmail:/etc/procmailrcs/host.com
</pre>

with the file <em class="file">/etc/procmailrcs/host.com</em> reading:

<pre>
:0 # forward mail for host.com
! -oi -f $1 person@other.host
</pre>

This would arrange for (anything)@host.com to be sent
to person@other.host. Within the procmail script, $1 is
the name of the sender and $2 is the name of the recipient.

If you use this with FEATURE(`[http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/features.html#local_procmail local_procmail]'),
the [http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/features.html FEATURE]
should be listed first.

Of course there are other ways to solve this particular
problem, e.g., a catch-all entry in a [http://www.sendmail.com/sm/open_source/docs/m4/features.html#virtusertable virtusertable].
