procmail-3.22 Local mail delivery agent
>Description:
When procmail is used as local mailer, it creates a new user's
mailbox chmod 660 and chgrp wheel.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up procmail as local mailer with sendmail
[hf@jump] /var/mail # fgrep -i procmail /usr/share/sendmail/cf/jump.mc
define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/pkg/bin/procmail')
FEATURE(`local_procmail')
Create a new user
[hf@jump] /var/mail # useradd -m -g guest -c "Heinz Testmann" heinz
Send him a mail
[hf@jump] /var/mail # date | mail -s TEST heinz
[hf@jump] /var/mail # ls -l heinz
-rw-rw---- 1 heinz wheel 366 Oct 24 10:58 heinz
[hf@jump] /var/mail #
>Fix:
What procmail does looks SYSVish (with mailboxes writable by
group mail); might be a procmail build option. Or, have
useradd create an empty mailbox.
