RE: [vps-mail] Aliased Emails Avoid Procmail/Spamassassin?

["Ron Pero" <rpero@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have finally gotten around to implementing your suggestion. It almost
works well. There is only one problem: when I send a message to
testlist@xxxxxxxxxx, where I'm on the recipient list of the alias file, I
receive 14 copies of the email.

>From the information below, can you tell why this "circular" behavior
happens? The best clue is probably from the procmail log, but I don't know
what it means.

(I did not try your suggestion to set up a user 'testlist', because I have
about 25 lists like this, and I don't want to maintain 25 copies of the
procmailrc file. Sensible? Or is there a way for each procmailrc file to
"include" a main procmailrc file that filters spam and virii?)

Thank you,

Ron

PROCMAILRC CONTAINS THIS
:0 H:
*  ^TO_testlist@xxxxxxxxxx
!testreallist

ALIASES CONTAINS THIS
testlist: |"/usr/home/username/usr/local/bin/procmail -m
/usr/home/username/etc/procmailrc"
testreallist: :include:/usr/home/username/etc/mail/lists/_testlist_list.txt

_TESTLIST_LIST.TXT CONTAINS THIS
rpero@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
axarchivetest@xxxxxxxxxx

IN PROCMAILRC I ALSO HAD THIS, BUT COMMENTED IT OUT. IT STILL SENDS ME 14
COPIES, SO THE SPAMASSASSIN THING WAS NOT THE PROBLEM
#:0fw: spamassassin.lock
#* < 250000
#* ^TO_testlist@xxxxxxxxxx
#|/usr/local/bin/spamassassin

AND FINALLY, IN A PROCMAIL LOG FILE, THERE ARE MANY LINES LIKE THIS
procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
