procmail-3.22-r7 waits for input during build when no recognised mailer is installed. It tries to autodetect the mailer, but if it cannot, rather than using a default value, it asks the user.

Ok, this is similar to bug #102098. I committed nbsmtp-1.00-r2 to the tree providing a real sendmail script and blocking virtual/mta. (This was a nbsmtp issue rather than a procmail one) Cheers, Ferdy
