I don't think you need to add a 'f' flag when forwarding a message.
Does your perl script print to STDOUT?

All the documentation I've read has said to use 'f' when filtering /

The following acts as an email relay (any mail from a user claiming to

When adding 'f' to both locations marked '***', somehow both RULE
assignments occur. Here is the log file (with both 'f's), trimmed:
procmail: Match on "^From:[ ]*(_dot_)*cory(_at_)nortelnetworks\(_dot_)com"

I'd appreciate any input. Also, I believe those 'Warning' lines occur
from calling metamail without any flags.
