You meant "pipe to maildrop", right?

Oh, right, you meant something easy ;-) I'd already done that -
put the env backticks right before the xfilter with bogofilter -
and compared to the output on my old machine where it works - it
is exactly the same:

SED=/usr/bin/sed
HOSTNAME=krille.blacktrash.org
SHELL=/bin/bash
UMASK=077
MAILDIRQUOTA=
SIZE=333285
LOCKEXT=.lock
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
DEFAULT=/Users/chris/Maildir
MAILFILTER=.mailfilter
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
LOCKTIMEOUT=60
PWD=/Users/chris
REFORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/reformail
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
MAILDIRMAKE=/usr/local/bin/maildirmake
LINES=4455
SHLVL=1
HOME=/Users/chris
LOCKSLEEP=5
LOCKREFRESH=15
FROM=chris
LOGNAME=chris
MATCH=Message-ID:
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi
_=/usr/bin/env

I have 3 rules and program var settings before the exfilter,
setting the backticks as very first rule yields this:

HOSTNAME=krille.blacktrash.org
SHELL=/bin/bash
UMASK=077
MAILDIRQUOTA=
SIZE=333309
LOCKEXT=.lock
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
DEFAULT=/Users/chris/Maildir
MAILFILTER=.mailfilter
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
LOCKTIMEOUT=60
PWD=/Users/chris
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LINES=4458
SHLVL=1
HOME=/Users/chris
LOCKSLEEP=5
LOCKREFRESH=15
FROM=xxxx@xxxx
LOGNAME=chris
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi
_=/usr/bin/env

So dacht ich. Nächstens mehr.
