The .procmailrc file generated by ingo heavily depends on the GNU versions of the programs.
- eg. (ls -lcn --time-style=+%s or even echo -e). If your mail server happens to be not linux, the most often not works.
After looking at the code, I thought it would be too much trouble making the whole command configurable. Instead, I decided the procmail code might assume that the GNU tools are available, but should not assume they are in the path or even what their name is (eg. on many Sun systems the GNU utilities are available, but prefixed with 'g' - gdate, gls etc.).
I therefore wrote a small patch (for lib/Script/procmail.php) that makes date, echo and ls a configuration option for each server (the test command seems to work on all platforms).
