To anyone who has installed procmail:

	I am attempting to install procmail on my system, which is
running FreeBSD 2.1.  The package description suggests putting lines
in a file for sendmail - hostname.mc, but I do not know where this
file lives or is supposed to be.  Any help would be appreciated.

	Again, this is to install procmail to be referenced by
sendmail as the default mail delivery agent.  I believe this would
be better than having to put a .forward to reference procmail, if
you believe differently please explain why.

	What I need the most is a step-by-step *full* explanation of
how to make procmail work with sendmail.  Thanks.

						- Jon.
