procmail: Program failure (1) of "formail"

Where is formail installed?  Is that directory in the PATH used by
procmail?  If not, add it, ala:

PATH = $PATH:/directory/where/formail/is/located


If you're not sure what PATH procmail uses by default, check out
the procmailrc(5) manpage: it should mention it near the top of the
fifth page.  (In case you're not sure how to view the manpage, run the
command "man procmailrc")
