I've been using prcomail for years, and now with a new job, I
grabbed and compiled it just fine (procmail-3.10), but I can't get it to
run from my .forward file. I can run
procmail < some_input
with test mail, and it is happy with my .procmail file, but when I
use the suggested .forward file, I get no errors, and no mail:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #wpcallah
so I tried:
\wpcallah, "| /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail -v "
which ensured that I would get a copy of the mail (un-filtered)
and one from procmail as well. I go the following
error:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
Cannot exec binary file.
sh: /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail: cannot execute
554 "| /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail -v "... unknown mailer error 1
another try:
\wpcallah, "| /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail "
gives:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 "| /home/wpcallah/bin/procmail "... unknown mailer error 1
I wonder why it says: Cannot exec binary file. Or why it seems to
be attempting to run it as a shell script? Is there something funny
in my environment that results from it being run from .forward?

My "From wpcallah(_at_)tddcae99" as mailed from here is wrong, and I can't
change it.
