"unsafe for mailing to programs"

Hi,

I still haven't gotten procmail 3.14 to work.
Now, anyone emailing me when I have the following file
named as my .forward,

   270 geosci:/home/dave% more .forward.x
   "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail"

they get (from a unix shell):

   /home/dave/.forward: line 1: "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail"... 
   Address dave is unsafe for mailing to programs

In a previous post, I noted:

The files and directory in question are as they should be for
ownership and permissions:

   271 geosci:/home/dave% ls -ald . .procmailrc .forward.x
   drwxr-xr-x  30 dave     sysadmin    2048 Feb  4 12:09 .
   -rw-rw----   1 dave     sysadmin      32 Jan 31 19:39 .forward.x
   -rw-------   1 dave     sysadmin    7345 Jan 20 10:52 .procmailrc

I haven't yet used INCLUDERC in my .procmailrc so that could not be
affecting this.

Does procmail 3.14 need any special install considerations that
I did not make note of?

The script from my install procedure:

   500 geosci:/opt# ftp www.procmail.org
   ftp> bin
   ftp> get procmail-3.14.tar.gz
   ftp> quit

   501 geosci:/opt# gzip -dc procmail-3.14.tar.gz |tar xvpf -
   502 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# cp -p Makefile Makefile.orig
   503 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# vi Makefile

   504 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# diff Makefile Makefile.orig
   5c5
   < BASENAME      = /usr/local
   ---
   > BASENAME      = /usr
   10c10,11
   < ARCHITECTURE  =.sun4
   ---
   > ARCHITECTURE  =
   > #ARCHITECTURE =.sun4

   505 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# make install
   506 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# make install-suid VERBOSE=on
   507 geosci:/opt/procmail-3.14# cd /opt/local/bin.sun4
   508 geosci:/opt/local/bin.sun4# foreach f ( * )
   ? ln -s $cwd/$f /usr/local/bin/$f
   ? end

I realize ARCHITECTURE didn't have to be set to .sun4

Thanks for any help.
