Hi. This error shows in the (verbose) logs of procmail. formail is in 
/usr/bin with permissions 0755, and the snippet that calls it is:

Um, what is the actual logged error?

Have you tried putting
        SHELL=/bin/sh
at the top of the rcfile?

Why do you hardcode the path to formail?  /usr/bin is *always* in the
default procmail path.  Do you override the PATH?  If so, how and why?
(In my experience, hardcoding paths creates more problems than it
(supposedly) solves.)

Oh yeah, do you have the 'h' flag on this recipe?


When reporting problems, it helps if you include in your message to the
list:
a) the entire recipe that is involved,
b) the entire error message that was in the logfile,
c) what you you were trying to do (intent, not method!), and
d) what it is actually doing.

You should also try looking up (b) in the DIAGNOSTICS section of the
procmail(1) manpage.  All the procmail error messages are described
there; if you encounter a message that *isn't* listed there then report
it to bug(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org as a documentation bug.
