Actually, I already have that set so that I get the system mail!
I'm just about to delete (comment out) that drop-through line
in /etc/procmailrc and test it now!

No I'm not using sendmail - this is a Fedora 20 box. Fedora no longer
ships with a MDA. I had a battle-royal to get exim to work!

I have a fetchmail->procmail->dovecot setup and now use msmtp (and exim
was necessary to get system mail working again).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know I get on...
