Not sure why formail has problems - And I still get mail!

1996-01-19 20:48:09
I don't think I'm having any trouble getting my mail (i.e. I get my mail), but I happened to look into my procmail logfile and saw the following:
=================================
formail: Couldn't openFrom PopOver Fri Jan 19 19:37:38 1996
Subject: What's ketchup?
Folder: /usr/spool/mail/reichman 643
formail: Couldn't openFrom PopOver Fri Jan 19 19:38:00 1996
Subject: Ketchup #2
Folder: /usr/spool/mail/reichman 638
=================================


This script is how I get my mail off the net:
=================================
#!/bin/csh -f
/bin/rm -rf /tmp/mail/* && /bin/rm -rf /tmp/mail
mkdirs /tmp/mail/
popOver
if (( -f /tmp/mail/reichman )) then
chmod 755 /tmp/mail
formail -s procmail -m /Users/reichman/.procmailrc < /tmp/mail/reichman
endif
=================================


This is my .procmailrc:
=================================
# A sample small $HOME/.procmailrc:
# need to add a script to clean up the LOGFILE
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mailboxes
DEFAULT=/usr/spool/mail/reichman
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from

# prevent duplicate messages
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
|formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

:0:
* ^Subject:.Fey-*
|appnmail /Users/fey/Mailboxes/Fey

:0
* (^Subject:.request_PGP*|^Subject:.request_pgp*|^Subject:.REQUEST_PGP*|^Subject:.Request_pgp*|^Subject:.Request_PGP*)

:0 c
| (cd /mailback/Apps/MAILBACK.app; ./MBServer )

:0
|appnmail PGPrequest


=================================


Any ideas? I realize now that my mail takes a while to show up even tho I know it's arrived, so maybe whatever is the problem is holding everything up until.....

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
