Procmail version number

procmail v3.11pre7 1997/04/28 written and created by Stephen R. van den
Berg

.procmailrc file

#Set on when debugging

DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/adam

#Replace `mail' with your mail directory (Pine uses mail, Elm uses Mail)
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
     
#Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
     
LOGFILE=/home/adam/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing

.forward file

"|IFS=' ' && exec /home/adam/procmail-3.11pre7/new/procmail -Yf- #adam"

rc.testing <which is lcated in .procmail>

:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
* ^From.*adam
IN.testing

Now what's the trouble? I follow the instructions of the faq, send myself
test messages with and without the subject test. <I'm using Pine 3.96 and
I believe sendmail is the local delivery agent on the system> 

After doing this I exit pine but I can't find those messages any where

I gather one should appear IN.testing <maybe the a new folder??> but they
just disappear.

I found something interesting

/home/adam/procmail-3.11pre7/new $ ls -l

-rw-rw-r--  2 adam         7944 Aug 30 02:50 procmailsc.5

the file with the name #adam

I can't cat it. Just get garbarge.. What is it?

TIA,
