How do I get procmail to run?
1> Are you running Linux? If so, chances are you don't need to use .forward to
filter your mail. Procmail is already configured as the local delivery agent,
thus the system will detect and use your .procmailrc without haveing to
manually invoke procmail.
2> This error message indicates you're sendmail is using smrsh. Any binaries
or scripts invoked from aliases or .forward files must be referenced in
/etc/smrsh. Create a symlink in that directory to your procmail binary and it
will run procmail (though I'm not confident in the syntax you're using to
invoke it.)
