Hopefully someone is out there today. I guess that the mail list

It was to nice a day to spend indoors at the PC. :-)
I have almost got the autoresponder working. I found the problem of
{formail which was changed to (formail. I now get the message of
"command formail not found" in my Log file. Is there something that I am
suppose to define?
Formail is located in /usr/local/bin on my system.
Your problem is that Procmail does not know where the program formail is
actually located - unless you it in your MAILDIR. There are a couple of
ways of telling procmail this information.
Easiest is to set formail as a variable like so:
FORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/formail
and then just call it as $FORMAIL.
Another method is to set a PATH statement that includes the directory
where formail is located. This is a good thing to do anyway if you use
commands other than the shell builtins.
PATH=/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin
Or, you can always call formail as /usr/local/bin/formail.
