.forward

I am using procmail v 3.1, and Solaris 2.5.

My .forward is:

"|IFS=' ';exec /opt/local/bin/procmail #g5kalam"

it works fine for me.  But the problem I have is, my friend wants to use
procmail as well.  When I copy this .forward file to her directory and
change the #part to her login name.  It doesn't work... 

When I test it with a testing mail, it give both of us an error message:

Message from syslogd(_at_)eddie at Thu Jun  6 18:07:27 1996 ...
eddie procmail[29248]: Couldn't rename bogus "/var/mail/LOGNAME" into
"/var/mail/BOGUS.YF"


I would like to ask for any idea you may have on what caused this.  And
better yet, if you can tell me what you put in your .forward file to call
procmail.  Thanks for all your help.
