Thank you for the suggestion. I added the formail line to the .procmailrc,
but I still am not getting an of the messages delivered to the mailbox.  I'm
not even seeing procmail even calling /usr/cyrus/deliver in my mail logs (we
use procmail for alot of other things -- mainly spam checking).  I'm sure
I'm missing something stupid.  Is there anything else that I could be
missing?


Thanks again =)
Jim

Hi, I just answered another guy a few days ago with the same exact
problem.  Put this at the top of your procmailrc:

:0hfw
| /usr/bin/formail -I 'From '

the problem is the "From ..." header added by your MTA.
