Hello everyone. I have an existing situation, which I tried to get
answered on comp.mail.sendmail, but with no luck.
I finally found this mailing list :) and was wondering if anyone had an
answer?
Thanks ahead of time.

Well, since you didn't get any answers to the same question three weeks
ago, maybe not.
Yeah I guess not.

How about the procmail mailing list? Actually just typing the Subject
line of your posting into Google brings up a thread from there as the
very first hits.
I googled `procmail "No permission to execute"` before coming here.
Those results did not help.

Well, only root can execute formail, so that one is no surprise.

Can you do it as a non-root user? What are the permissions on /, /usr,
and /usr/bin?

I can execute date from any shell under any user without a problem.
