Unable to get procmail running...strange error

2001-02-27 21:49:10
Hi. my sys admin has just installed procmail v3.15.1 on a Sun box running
Solaris 2.6. however it seems that procmail is not working as mails sent
to my account (rptbd) goes straight to the inbox and no procmail log is
generated even though the configuration and file permissions are correct.
so i've read the FAQ by Nancy McGough and there's a part that suggested
creating a .forward file with the content as below.

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #rptbd"

after i've created this file and sent test messages to my account (rptbd)
i get the error below. the error below is actually sent to my sys admin. 

Could someone please help?? Thanks!



regards,
Aaron
