below is the log file.. bear in mind.. i think it starts from
the very first time i set it up.. it might be sort of long {;/
sorry.. i changed the directory to the LINUX (wrong) one
in there somewhere.. i hope i had verbose turned on
at the right times.
some of the message text got mixed around with this stuf.

Are you sure procmail is even installed on the system on which you're trying
to use it?
no i am not.. infact.. yer ls -l i think showed that it isn't
installed.. do i have to talk to someone with better permissions?

Have you done "which procmail"?
yes i have noted that in previous posts.
If it is installed somewhere in
your path that will tell you where.
aparently this isn't the case because i didn't think it was installed..
wait.. was that a directory? (postponing...)
okay.. that doesn't look like an application to me.. jeez.. i guess
this was sort of stupid of me.. but i DID attempt to find out
what the correct directory was.. i already had it.. but apparently
there is some sort of stub there that acts like procmail is
installed.. but the guts ain't
You want to put that path into your
.forward file EXACTLY as the "which" command gives it to you. If it tells
you
something to the effect of "not found", it either ins't intalled inthe first
place, or it is, but it's in an unusual place. Ask your local system
administrator. If this is indeed an AIX system, it would not be unusual for
it
to not be there.
