strange behavior

1999-05-04 03:32:33
dear all,

i have procmail installed (supposedly), but get very strange behavior.
when mail comes in, it gets saved to /var/spool/mail/mail.  even when i
send mail to root(_at_)localhost, the mail gets sent to that file.

furthermore, the procmailrc is:
HOME=/root
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
MAILDIR=${HOME}/mail
PROCDIR=/usr/bin/procmail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/procmail
VERBOSE=on

INCLUDERC=${HOME}/.procmail/rc.maillists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/MAILLOG

but no log file MAILLOG is generated!  can someone guess as to what the
problem here is?   my .forward is:

"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/bin/procmail/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 
75 #root"
 
can someone please help me?

thanks!
pete
