er, versus storing it locally, or in order to get it outside of your 
network when forwarding it elsewhere anyway?

If the latter, check into smarthost configuration.

! simply invokes $SENDMAIL.  if what you're passing wouldn't be accepted on 
the commandline of SENDMAIL, then don't expect procmail to be able to 
magically make it work.

Check on a SENDMAIL support list, such as news:comp.mail.sendmail about how 
you should be configuring your MTA.
