are you using:
sendmail?
then write the following line into your ~/.forward file:
"|/usr/bin/procmail"
If he's using sendmail Linux, this is the wrong way; sendmail is configured to
deliver via procmail.
depending on the version of sendmail he has, his sendmail.cf should gave
something like this:
[root(_at_)possum /root]# egrep -A5 '^M.*proc' /etc/sendmail.cf
Mprocmail, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMSPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -m $h $f $u

Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9,
S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
Mprog, P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
D=$z:/,
T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix,
A=sh -c $u
[root(_at_)possum /root]#
Red Hat Linux (and most other distros) come setup this way; if he's using some
Unix and has the m4 configuration tools, he can use them to set it up using
FEATURE(local_procmail)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
Note: don't blindly copy my lines; they're for my version of sendmail and the
way I've configured it; they might not fit yours.
