Hi Tim! I'm a UNIX administrator and I like to fight spam!
I have my "~/.forward" file set up like this:
"IFS=' ' && |/usr/local/nuglops/bin/procmail -Yf- || `ksh -c 'echo
~vjl'`/bin/procmail -Yf-"
which (supposedly) provides a "secondary copy" of PROCMAIL. The principle
is if "/usr/local/nuglops/bin/procmail" doesn't exist (the normal location
of PROCMAIL here at NetCom) for some reason, a secondary or backup copy of
PROCMAIL located in "~vjl/bin/procmail" will be called. This is to prevent
loss of email should the first copy be down.

Can anyone explain to me why things are acting this way. It's almost like
PROCMAIL is getting called twice in the first "~/.forward" file. I like
the idea of having a secondary copy of PROCMAIL called if the first copy
doesn't work, but not at the expense of "breaking" my SENDMAIL EXITCODE
bounce.
Let's look at your forward file:
"IFS=' ' && |/usr/local/nuglops/bin/procmail -Yf- ||
`ksh -c 'echo ~vjl'`/bin/procmail -Yf-"
Perhaps getting your homedirectory from ksh is confusing your
system into running procmail a second time. Try substituting the
absolute path for your home dir and see what happens.
