Are you running the sanitizer on the final delivery machine, or on a
relay? You cannot do receipient notification on a relay because the
"recipient" from procmail's point of view is always the relay itself
(i.e. "root").

Recipient notification only works on the final delivery system.

Note that $LOGNAME is just a username, it does not include a domain
name. If the mail system cannot properly delivery mail addressed to
just "cfree" then you'll need to configure that capability, which is
outside the scope of procmail.

I'm not familiar with qmail, perhaps someone else has a suggestion?

$LOGNAME is supposed to be set to the recipient name when procmail
runs. It is possible this is not happening under qmail.

Can you add:

	LOG="logname is \"$LOGNAME\""

somewhere and see what, if anything, gets logged?

You could also do:

	LOG=`env | sort`

and see what the complete environment is. Perhaps qmail is setting
some other variable to the recipient's name, so that you could do
something like:

	LOGNAME="$RECIPNAME"
