My ISP's new mailserver is doing some weird things. I've had e-mail
to my account bounced for some reasons that seem to be
procmail-related.
I've renamed my ".forward" file until I figure this out. The below
".forward" file worked with the old mailhost, but with the new
mailhost, mail has been bounced:
// begin included
"|IFS=' ' && p=/home/members/k/kevin/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf-
|| exit 75 #kevin"
// end included
e-mail sent to me while the above ".forward" was present was bounced
with the following error message:
// begin included
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON>
Subject: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 2
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|IFS=3D' ' && p=3D/home/members/k/kevin/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec=
$p -Yf- || exit 75 #kevin"
(expanded from: <kevin(_at_)efn(_dot_)org>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----

[sigh]
Is it my ".forward" file?
Is it the new mailhost?
Is it procmail?
Or is it Evil Spirits?
