procmail setup

Hi

I have tried to set up the .forward with the following:
"|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #pabonfre"
also tried
"|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #YOUR_LOGIN_NAME"

with .procmailrc

     PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
     MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      #you'd better make sure it exists
     DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
     LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from

     :0
     * ^From.*LukacsovicsFM
     /dev/null

     :0
     * ^From.*Andre
     $HOME/andre.sent  

The messages were simply bounced back to sender with message (e.g.):
======================================================================>

The original message was received at Mon, 4 Nov 1996 17:44:54 -0600 (CST)
from trex.uchicago.edu [128.135.136.66]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #pabonfre"
    (expanded from: <pabonfre(_at_)gsbphd(_dot_)uchicago(_dot_)edu>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 /home/gsbphd/pabonfre/.forward: line 1: "|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procma
il #pabonfre"... Address <pabonfre(_at_)gsbphd(_dot_)uchicago(_dot_)edu> is 
unsafe for mailing to
 programs              


What am I doing wrong?  Help!
