[I'm not sure why you titled this message "formail +1 -ds permissions
problem?" given that procmail is clearly the one complaining.]

I'm trying to process a digest using formail. My mailserver is qmail

piping through 'formail +1 -ds /usr/bin/procmail' from mutt, and with
the recipe

Each time I get a string of error messages:

procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/home/phorst/.procmailrc"
procmail: Couldn't read "/home/phorst/.procmailrc"

Couldn't read? I tried changing the permissions assigned to my
.procmailrc, but it didn't change anything.

What are the exact permissions on your .procmailrc *and* your home
directory?  Is your home directory mounted on the mail server using NFS?

-rw-rw-r--    1 phorst   phorst       2376 Mar 27 18:43 .procmailrc
drwx------   38 phorst   phorst       4096 Mar 27 20:13 phorst

No, everything's local.
