[OLUG] procmail on redhat6

[W. Mark Hagler]

Redhat 6.1 uses smrsh (sendmail restricted shell) for executing programs
external to sendmail.   The restricted shell will only run stuff that
the system administrators has authorized by looking in /etc/smrsh. Make
a link to /usr/bin/procmail in /etc/smrsh and then you can call that
program from your .forward file.
