A user at my site is having a problem with his procmail mail
delivery. After the mail gets delivered to his default mailbox, the
message "Too many )'s" is left after the abstract in the log file.
Orginally I thought that the notification of comsat/biff was the
problem, but it still occurs as you can see below.
I've searched throught the source code and cannot yet find anywhere
the message might be generated. I've also attempted to search the Net
for answers, but couldn't come up with anything that addressed this
problem.
I'd be interested in any hints you all might have for trying to track
down this problem.
Here is the relevant section from the procmail log file:
