Hello, list.

I just installed procmail for the first time, and tried to send a
message to myself on the local machine (Linux).  Nothing arrived, but
I found this in /var/spool/mqueue:

procmail: Autoforwarding mailbox found
550 5.1.1 <mtw(_at_)birdseye(_dot_)view(_dot_)net(_dot_)au>... User unknown

I don't know what the autoforwarding mailbox is.  Or where.  I didn't
put it there.  The unknown user is the sender.

To quote the DIAGNOSTICS section of the procmail(1) manpage:

       Autoforwarding mailbox found
                              The  system mailbox had its suid or
                              sgid bit set,  procmail  terminates
                              with  EX_NOUSER  assuming that this
                              mailbox must not be delivered to.

(*Every* message that procmail can log is documented in the DIAGNOSTICS
or EXTENDED DIAGNOSTICS section of the procmail(1) manpage.)
