Greetings:

     I'm running procmail on an SGI (IRIX 5.3) and am having problems with
the firmail program.  I am getting the following error:

procmail: Error while writing to ""
procmail: Skipped "|formail +1 -d -s cat >> Firewalls"
From marco  Fri Nov 17 15:33:38 1995
 Subject:   Firewalls-Digest V4 #652
  Folder: /usr/people/marco/Mail/Inbox                                    
27873

I'm not sure where to look.  I've read the man page descrition of this error
and it does not seem to make sense ..  When I run the command by hand ...

i.e. cat Message |formail .....

It works OK ....

formail is not setuid (did not think it had to be) ....  Please respond to me
via email as I am not subscribed to this mailing list.

Thank you ...

I've had problems similar to this and usually it was because either formail
was not on my PATH or formail was on a device which was not accessible to
the machine running sendmail.
