An excellent question ... and I'm not sure, which may be the crux of
the problem. I was under the impression that sendmail, as it is
configured to use procmail, would process ~/.procmailrc when it
delivered mail to /var/spool/mail/pmr. Now I'm thinking that that is
not necessarily the case. Can you confirm? Meanwhile I will see if
there is an option in sendmail.mc that causes procmail to ignore
~/.procmailrc ...
