The rpm in the current contributed releases on the mirror is for qmail,
Nothing compiled of the *latest* procmail suited to sendmail -- so I used
a tarball and compiled.
Typical RedHat fup-up. Reminds me of the time they were releasing Gimp
without the gtk and without letting folks know about the dependencies..
(See alt.sysadmin.recovery for further dissection of RedHat by two
experienced Gnome beta testers).
It's the only upgrade that's available in the contributed section.
RedHat is bad about some of the contributed tarballs. I was hoping
there was a halfway rational explanation but obviously it's just one of
those RedHat things. A compiled procmail from the latest tarball works
just fine.
The sendmail rpm was okay though.

Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity unless you
want better plot twists.
