[Esd-l] rookie question - procmailrc and sanitizer

Hello,

After loosing a few users inbox 's to a Netscape inbox has a virus vs.
Norton antivirus wishes to crush the virus I installed sanitizer on a
Redhat 8 linux box.

I am running sendmail-8.12.8, Redhat 8, using procmailrc to store my
configs for sanitizer.  I pasted the default sanitizer rules from the site,
pasted below, but when I try to modify them sanitizer eats the bad mail and
does not send a message to the sender nor passes the mail header and body
to the user with a canned message regarding the attachment.

I do not wish to have a quarantine central in /var nor within the uses
homes, nor do I wish to have the users store logs individually.  I would
like to have a central log file /var/log/procmail.log so I can rotate it
weekly.

Can someone help me out with a simple config or tell me where I went wrong
with the below.

Thanks

Jim
