invoking procmail by non-privileged user

1997-02-12 08:17:00

I have been trying to invoke
procmail v3.10 using my .forward
in my shell account on a DECstation.

I entered the correct path to the
procmail executable in the .forward
file.

In my .procmailrc file, I have correct
paths to my mail directory and such.
My recipes are from the procmailex(5)
man pages.

Interestingly, I get the following message
from the mailer-demon from my shell account:

"User doesn't have correct shell to mail
to programs"

This seems to defeat the usefullness of
procmail for anyone without root access.

Thank you for any help.
