[snip - dawn of light - procmail might not be correct binary]
Yes, for several years, but I had my own installed version of procmail in my
own /home/mcmaster/bin directory and pointed to my version from .forward.
Uhm, any particular logic behind why you were running your own procmail
binary? Searching back in the old memories, might it have been because
there was trouble getting the host-provided one to work?
When I moved, I removed the bin directory, since I did not ever expect to use
it again. Rather than reinstall my own procmail, I just used the version in
/apps/bin.
... which hasn't yet been demonstrated to work.
You never did answer the question about whether you've tried to run
procmail locally on the server - that would have also been an indicator.
I just checked on swmail, which is where procmail really runs, right?
Uh, you've got me. It runs on whatever host your mail is processed on. I
believe your bounce message would have indicated it...

looks like it is sweng
They
are running Solaris 2.5 instead of the 2.6 running on the machine where my
old account runs. Also, they do not have /apps/bin/procmail defined in
swmail's /apps/bin. I think I need to reinstall procmail in
/home/mcmaster/bin, or find it in swmail's directory, probably
/usr/local/bin. Do you think that would solve the problem?
If you had luck in running your own binary on that host before, I would
suggest that is is a pretty good chance that it would work
again. Depending on _why_ you were running your own binary, it may in fact
be the necessary solution.
To determine if there may be other procmail binaries, shell to the old host
and execute:
find / -name procmail
(you might try 'locate procmail' first in case they actually have a locate
db, which is a LOT faster and less of a system resource pig when just
looking for a file).
