Error while forking formail

1998-02-25 01:31:25

Hi there,

we are using procmail as local delivery agent and I want to play around with 
several custom header flags, thats why I set up an procmailrc which looks 
like this:



COMSAT=off
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
CONFIRMDELIVERY=`formail -x"return-receipt-to"`
CONFIRMREADING=`formail -x"x-confirm-reading-to"`
MAILDIR=$1
LASTFOLDER=$MAILDIR
:0
*
        $MAILDIR


But the procmail.log file records an error saying:

procmail: [6608] Mon Feb 23 10:04:10 1998
procmail: Failed forking "formail"
procmail: Assigning "CONFIRMDELIVERY="

procmail: Opening "/home/termftp/aus/ypg/a00106/KAA06606.cnm"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock

During installation procmail is not set suid and guid because otherwise I 
couldn't assign a special user-id and group-id to procmail in the 
sendmail.cf file. The mailer definition looks like this:

Madm,           P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=SADFMhulw,
                S=10/30, R=20/40, U=termftp:icoms,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -a $z/$i.cnm -d $u


Maybe someone can help me.

Best Regards
