I would think that the procmail binary might not be available

75 then perhaps).
that was the problem, but it was a little odd.
My email address is 'luomat(_at_)nerc(_dot_)com' which actually gets delivered
to 'luomat(_at_)nerc1(_dot_)nerc(_dot_)com'. There's another machine called
'nerc3'
which I can also log into and send mail from.
I didn't think the problem was no procmail because 'procmail' and
'formail' is installed on nerc1 -- however! when I send mail from
'nerc3' it seems my 'from' changes to:
luomat(_at_)nerc3(_dot_)nerc(_dot_)com
and when people replied to that, it went did not find 'procmail'
and seemed to wait to try again:
"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p
-Yf-||exit 75 #luomat"
was my .forward....
Anyway, thanks for the help
