[Esd-l] Need help with new install

[Ed Kasky]

I hope I am correct in saying that procmail is being called from sendmail 
with the presence of /etc/procmailrc and $HOME/.procmailrc.

I don't experience any problems until I call the sanitizer at the end of 
/etc/procmail using INCLUDERC.  If I remark this out, procmail itself 
works fine....

It seems to be picking up the LOGFILE variable as the procmail 
executable.  I changed the log variable setting in /etc/procmailrc and 
the error message reflected the change...
