OK! So that makes sense, and it works fine. Delivers the mail.
BUT: When I put this in my .forward:
"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #beckman"
Mail DOES NOT get delivered. I have lost a bunch of mail because of
this. What is wrong with the above? Parens precedence? I am
confused because the documentation says this works. BUT it doesn't
seem to.......
Have someone else send a message to you when you have that in place.
They should be getting a bounce message back when it fails to deliver.
That bounce message may help you deduce what the problem is. Off-hand
I would guess that your site may use smrsh, in which case you'll need
to put a copy of or link to procmail in smrsh's binary directory,
probably /usr/lib/sm.bin.
