procmail 'doesn't have a valid shell for mailing'

Help!

I'm very dependent on procmail for sorting mail, unfortunately we've 
upgraded to another version of Solaris and I now get the following return
message when I try to forward mail to our Unix box:

550 /home/milo1/cfuchs/.forward: line 1: "|/home/milo1/cfuchs/bin/procmail
 -Yf #cfuchs"...
User cfuchs(_at_)milo(_dot_)scc(_dot_)bchydro(_dot_)bc 
<mailto:cfuchs(_at_)milo(_dot_)scc(_dot_)bchydro(_dot_)bc> .ca
doesn't have a valid shell for mailing
to programs.

Procmail works when you pipe a file to it at a shell command line.  Seems
like the new version of solaris is plugging potential security holes. What 
configuration or initialization files do I need to modify to give me
privileges
or permission so I can run procmail via the .forward file?

Thanks for any help.

Chris
