formail error

1999-08-27 17:54:46

Hi all,

I just started using procmail to filter my mail.  I have a few
problems but for now let start with the first.  

In the beginning of the recipes I have the following

# BEGIN RECIPES

# Nuke duplicate messages
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| $FORMAIL -D 8192 msgid.cache

# Create a backup cache of 100 most recent messages in case of mistakes
:0 c
backup

[snip]

$FORMAIL is set to /usr/bin/formail. In my log file I have the
following:

procmail: Locking "msgid.lock"
procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/formail,-D,8192,msgid.cache"
procmail: Program failure (1) of "/usr/bin/formail"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/bin/formail -D 8192 msgid.cache"
procmail: Unlocking "msgid.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=backup/msg.DAB"
procmail: Opening "backup/msg.DAB"

Where is the mistake? 

Thanks for your help.

Dominic.
