Hi!
I do not have a .forward file in my home directory. I think
procmail is being called ( parts of the sendmail.cf file are attached with
this mail) I do not really understand the config.
The problem I seem to be having is that the rcfile in my home
directory is not being read for some reason.
You mentioned something about the permissions and paths. I am a
newbie and am not really sure about a lot of things but I asked a chap
here, who has used procmail for longer than I have and he couldn't find
anything wrong.
I have a VERBOSE=on line in my rcfile but no logs are generated.
I use pine to read my mail (if that is of any help).
My variable settings in the rcfile are as follows:-
.procmailrc begin
===============================================================================
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/pkgs/sendmail/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox
BACKUP=/tmp/mydir/mbox.backup
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.log
LOCKFILE=$MAILDIR/.lockmail
VERBOSE=on #VERBOSE=off COMSAT=off
:0c
* ^From.*$
$BACKUP
:0
* ^From(_dot_)*n6002007(_at_)(_dot_)*cc(_dot_)iitb(_dot_)ernet(_dot_)in
INBOX-DHAR

^From.*(mayur(_dot_)datar(_at_)usa(_dot_)net|datarsd(_at_)pn2(_dot_)vsnl(_dot_)net(_dot_)in)

.procmailrc end

Do you have a .forward file? If not, are you sure Procmail is still
your LDA? Otherwise, are the permissions and paths in it correct?
