Using both Redhat 7.1 and Solaris 8, the manual page for procmail says
If procmail is not installed globally as the default mail
delivery agent (ask your system administrator), you have to
make sure it is invoked when your mail arrives. In this
case your $HOME/.forward (beware, it has to be world read
able) file should contain the line below. Be sure to in-
clude the single and double quotes, and unless you know your
site to be running smrsh (the SendMail Restricted SHell), it
must be an absolute path.
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
========================================
The source of the manual page contains the lines:
.PP
.na
.nf
"\h'-\w' 'u' |exec /usr/bin/procmail"
.fi
.ad
Note that the formatted version does not contain any single quotes!
procmail-3.22/examples/forward shows
"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- ||
exit 75 #YOUR_LOGIN_NAME"
Shouldn't this example be in the manual page?
