procmail and sendmail problem? messages in 'mailq'

1996-09-12 19:07:37

I'm having trouble, I think, but I can't figure out exactly what's
wrong.  I'm also not sure what to give as dianostic information, so if
I've left something out, please bear with me. 


I've got a .forward setup to run 'procmail' :

"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 
75 #luomat"

(that's all one long line in .forward)

I've got a bunch of messages piling up in the mailq, and they seem to
be saying something about that .forward

I'm sorta sendmail-ignorant, and I'm barely procmail literate... I'm
just wondering if there's anything I should be doing differently...

If any replies from the 'comp.mail.sendmail' group could be 'cc'd to
me, I'd appreciate it, my usenet feed is sometimes sporadic. (It isn't
available via email, is it?)
