the "system" invoking tmda-rfilter is tmda-filter (invoked by
procmail, which is called by sendmail and is passed the uid).

OK, making the line /var/mail/<username> (substituting the user's name
for <username>) makes the errors go away.  So now I need to find the
appropriate variable to call to get the user name.  With as many users
as I have, will need to write a Perl script to rip through all the
users /home dirs and change their ~/.tmda/config file.

Do I need the /etc/tmdarc file?

Thanx,
