Using the example '.forward' included in the distribution:

#YOUR_LOGIN_NAME"
Causes complaints from 'smrsh' about illegal characters ('|','&'). Whats the
best way to get around this or how do others handle this ? Rewrite it and
don't use '&&', '||' ?
If you have smrsh installed and a link to the procmail binary in the
sm.bin directory, then the correct .forward is simply:
"|procmail -Yf-"
You may usefully use some other set of flags. smrsh strips whatever
path you use, so don't bother putting one in. As for the "|| exit 75",
it is useless under many common configurations, and where it does have
an effect it may simply result in mail being stuck in the queue instead
of being _usefully_ bounced back.
PS: I could hack smrsh and edit the characters it disallows but thats kind of
defeating the security of using it in the first place.
Correct: change that and you might as well switch back to /bin/sh.
