junk.mail
The |cat >junk.mail is a test of piping the mail to a command,
something simple.
What I really want to do with the mail is this:
|/usr/local/bin/formail -k -X Subject: -X Newsgroups: |inews
Try fully qualifying things as I have had problems with that in the past.
FORMAIL=/usr/local/bin/formail
NEWS=/path/to/inews
| $FORMAIL -k -X"Subject:" -X"Newsgroups:" >>$NEWS
I tried this -- same problem.
I've also tried various flags and having a lockfile after the :0 but that
didn't change anything.

Piping mail to a program works OK here.
