This isn't a procmail question, per se, but it's tangential since
I'm trying to call procmail from my .forward file. I have procmail
set up and I sent a message to it to confirm that it was working
properly, but sendmail never activates it.
I've checked the permissions on the .forward file, and I've
confirmed that the rule for .forward files in the sendmail.cf
are correct.
What else should I look at?
The maillog file (or wherever syslog put 'mail' facility messages).
You may find messages like the following:
Oct 7 12:13:00 solen.gac.edu sendmail[8776]: MAA08776: forward
/Net/solen/home/g/u/guenther/.forward: Group writable directory

Yep, I'm getting one of those lines for each .forward rule in the
Sendmail.cf file:
O ForwardPath=$z/.forward:$z/.forward.$w+$h:$z/.forward+$h:$z/.forward.$w
But I haven't been able to determine which directory it's
complaining about. The permissions are
-rw-r--r-- 1 pfterry staff 44 Oct 7 09:14 .forward
drwxr-xr-x 33 pfterry other 3072 Oct 7 09:13 ./
drwxr-xr-x 2 pfterry staff 512 Oct 6 22:29 .procmail/
The mail gets delivered to my mailbox without any filtering.
Looks like I'm running Sendmail 8.7 on a Solaris 2.7 Ultra.
At this point, I know the answer is going to become so
obvious that my forehead will have a large, red hand print.
