Where is formail installed? Is that directory in the PATH used by
I don't think that's it, as the error message seems to be coming from
formail itself.
Compare:
$ cat scratch/prc
:0
| moomail
$ procmail scratch/prc < rmail.out
/bin/sh: moomail: cannot open
I played around (don't have the source handy) and tried to get that
same error somehow, and I couldn't, but I found another interesting
glitch:
$ rm scratch/moo
rm: scratch/moo: No such file or directory
$ formail -D 8192 scratch/moo < $HOME/rmail.out
$ ls -l scratch/moo
-rw------- 1 reriksso system 0 Mar 13 08:58 scratch/moo
$ chmod 000 scratch/moo
$ formail -D 8192 scratch/moo < $HOME/rmail.out
formail: Couldn't open
