#Set on when debugging
SHELL=/bin/ksh
Interesting. I cannot find a Korn shell on our SunOS 4.1.3_U1 sun4c machines.
.forward file
"|IFS=' ' && exec /home/adam/procmail-3.11pre7/new/procmail -Yf- #adam"
My .forward file, which is executed on our SunOS 4.1.3 mailhost, looks
like this:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /user/lhecking/bin/`machine`/procmail -f- || exit 75
#lhecking"
The difference is (I think) that the "|| exit 75" part will signal
EX_TEMPFAIL to the MDA if procmail fails, so that mail delivery can be
retried.
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>
The local delivery agent is `grep '^Mlocal' /etc/sendmail.cf`, which is
/bin/mail on our SunOS systems.
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.
IN.testing should appear in $MAILDIR.
I found something interesting

the file with the name #adam
I can't cat it. Just get garbarge.. What is it?
Good question. Have you tried less/vi/emacs? From the size of this file I
would gather that it actually contains your (one or two) test message(s).
Possibly garbled, if you can't cat it.
Other than that, I can only follow Era's suggestion ...
