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
[...]
It's a problem with sendmail. I think you need to put a
symbolic link to procmail in /etc/smrsh, and change your
.forward to |/usr/local/bin/procmail.
But what sendmail is almost certainly balking on is
-rw-rw---- 1 dave sysadmin 32 Jan 31 19:39 .forward.x
^^^ the fact that your .forward is group writable. It might
be unhappy with the group readable too, I'm not sure.
I'd try changing the permission on the .forward file before you
mess with the other stuff.
If I'm wrong, of course, I'll be corrected and no doubt lightly
roasted. :-)
