I get the following error message (generated by the Mailer-Daemon) when
trying to use procmail in my .forward file:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|IFS=' 'exec /opt_software/procmail/bin.`uname`/procmail -f- || exit 75
#mauzy"
(expanded from: <mauzy(_at_)galadriel(_dot_)math(_dot_)unc(_dot_)edu>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 /home/tramp/disk2/mauzy/.forward: line 1: "|IFS=' 'exec
/opt_software/procmail/bin.`uname`/procmail -f- || exit 75 #mauzy"... User
mauzy(_at_)galadriel(_dot_)math(_dot_)unc(_dot_)edu doesn't have a valid shell
for mailing to
programs
This is my .forward file:
"|IFS=' 'exec /opt_software/procmail/bin.`uname`/procmail -f- || exit 75
#mauzy"
I have to use the `uname` command because I'm in a mixed enviorment (DECs
and Suns) The machine that is reporting the problem is a Solaris 2.5
machine. I can succesfully recieve mail on the DECs. I know its
possible to restrict mailer shells, but I haven't done any of that on
this machine. Any ideas?
Also, which varible changes the default location of mail boxes? (ie. I
need to change it from /usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME to /var/mail/$LOGNAME)
TIA
