Hi all,
I am using procmail v3.13.1 under Solaris2.6 with sendmail.
When somebody sends a message to a list of addresses of which I am part of,
the sender gets an error message from PMDF e-Mail Interconnect as follows:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: fridez(_at_)ubecx01(_dot_)unibe(_dot_)ch
Original address: pierre(_dot_)fridez(_at_)aiub(_dot_)unibe(_dot_)ch
Reason: Shell exited with status -1 (Error -1)
I DO receive the message, get no error message whatsoever. The procmail logfil
reports (I set VERBOSE = yes):

There are several users which use the same procmail at our site (each has a
.forward and a .procmailrc file) and which were part of the mailing list.
Our .procmailrc and .forward files are user readable only (chmod 600).
I am at a loss. I don't see anything wrong with my setup (but I may very well
be wrong!!). And I am not sure if this is a real procmail problem. As far as I
understood (which might not be very much), procmail gets to see a message only
after it has been delivered to my system inbox. This would mean, that the
sending of the message is successfully achieved. How then must the error
message on the SENDER's part be understood? Could this be a timing problem
(e.g. procmail locks the file before delivery is complete) ?
Does anybody out there have an idea into what I should be looking?
Any help comment or idea is greatly appreciated.
Pierre

If I remember correctly, the .forward file must be world readable in order
for procmail to use it.
