thank you for your responses,
I have just found the problem with the system administrator,
it was in fact a problem of shell,
that is to say my account shell was defined as /bin/tcsh,
and in changing in /bin/csh it works perfectly now !

Not /usr/local/bin/procmail ?

As for the suggestion that the hashmark isn't appropriate, that isn't your
problem - the hash before your userid IS part of the standard invocation.
/usr/bin/procmail is well installed on the mail server
Positive? Is the MX the _same_ host that your shell account is on?
in all cases when I activate the .forward, the mails are not yet delivered
to me, with a .procmailrc or not, it is the same.
Well, the exit 75 is EX_TEMPFAIL to the MTA, i.e. "try again later", so do
these messages end up in the mail queue, or are they gone?
What is in your ~/.procmailrc? have you tried just using a dead simple
recipe? How about renaming the .procmailrc (so the .forward invoked
procmail runs, but doesn't process any local rcfile which MAY be
buggy). Are the perms correct? Heck, are the perms for the .forward
correct? Have you tried setting a VERBOSE logfile in your .procmailrc to
see what procmail is doing IF it is successfully starting?
Hit the link in my .sig, and download and READ the procdiag.sh script, then
run it and see what it tells you about your setup - it should spot some
common permission mistakes.
