    My server uses procmail to process mail through spamassassin and then
    into the users mailbox. In Debian I have found that for deliver
    (cyrdeliver) to work I have to set the sticky bit. I did an update
    recently and it removed the sticky bit on cyrdeliver and therefore mail
    began to be delivered to /var/mail. Procmail also removes the From line
    because cyrus doesnt seem to like that. Now mail is in /var/mail
    without the From line and I cannot seem to get the mail from /var/mail
    back into the Cyrus database because every program I try to use doesnt
    see the mail in that file as actual mail due to the missing From line.
    What can I do to get the mail into the users mailboxes?
    I have tried to set up pop access to it, it sees it as messed up mail.
    I tried to use mutt to see the mail in it. It sees it is screwed up
    mail. I tried to use formail to readd the From but it only does it on
    the top line and not each message in the file.

    Thanks in advance,
    Caleb
