OK. I've got the same entries as you, but I am not getting the
Return-Path: put in the header. Now I am reading my mail -on- the server.
Since it is mail.local or in my case procmail that reads it, it -should-
put it in before depositing it in /var/mail for pickup, shouldn't it?
I have tried compiling with the procmail option out, like yours and it
makes no difference.
My sendmail.cf shows;
Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/Hdr
FromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D
=$z:/,
T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix,
A=sh -c $u
