Re: procmail: owned by root and "-rwx--x--x "

try one of the following:

In a perfect world:
        "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #username"
In an almost perfect world:
        "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail USER=username"
In another world:
        "|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procmail #username"
In a different world:
        "|IFS=' ';exec /usr/local/bin/procmail USER=username"
In a smrsh world:
        "|/usr/local/bin/procmail #username"

These formats can be tried in different combinations, the leading "| can
be tried as |" instead, or vice versa.

 also is this the correct path??
 permissions on my serfer are:

rwsr-sr-x

Procmail doesn't seem to be running on my Linux account.

It has been set to "-rwx--x--x"

My .forward is

"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -x $p&&exec $p  
-Yf-||exit 75 #luomat"

(all one line)

changing it to 'test -f' did not help either

Is this failing because I do not have 'read' permission for the  
binary?  I can execute it by hand (to get the version information,  
for example).

Thanks
