Is it possibe to copy any incoming mail into a folder in my

in .forward?
I have tried it, but it doesn't work. I don't receive anything, each
mail is sent back with the following message:
[snip]
I forgot one line in my little rcfile: there should be a line saying
LOGFILE=$HOME/.log
at the top of the file. You also might want to insert VERBOSE=yes.
The entry in .forward should be correct, procmail is started, but why is
it waiting for console input?
I don't think it waits for console input, but it attempts to write to the
console. There is a line in the config.h that controls whether this should
happen. You (or the person who compiled procmail in the first place)
should recompile the program without this option.
You can test this by running procmail from the command line:
procmail -f- <mailfile
Where mailfile contains one email message. If procmail writes to the
terminal, you know the problem is the option I mentioned earlier.
