SUMMARY: Sendmail Issue - dead.letter contents processing

Thanks to all who responded. Procmail is the way to go.

The following will create several single files.

formail -ds  dead.letter > newmail
cat newmail |formail -s sh -c 'cat >msg.$FILENO'

These single files if palced under sendmail queue (mqueue) and restart of
snedmail should process the mail. I have not tried this part.


Thanks
Jane
