I have built procmail-3.11pre3 on SGI IRIX 4.0.5. It does not seem to
be able to write to the mailbox. It is installed as follows:
Installed in /usr/local/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 65536 Oct 13 11:24 formail
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 102400 Oct 13 11:24 lockfile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 5393 Oct 13 11:24 mailstat
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 196608 Oct 13 11:24 procmail
I test it with `procmail VERBOSE=on`, and feed it the following message:

Without a ~/.procmailrc, it says:

procmail: Bypassed locking "/usr/mail/allen.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/mail/allen"

When I copy 2procmailrc to ~/.procmailrc (all paths are okay), I get an
empty ~/Mail/mbox (it was created) and ~/Mail/from says:
procmail: No match on "^Subject:.*Other Digest"

Does anyone have any idea why it cannot write to a mailbox and/or where
I would look to determine why it cannot?
