Is the slash at the end of MAILDIR neccessary?
The name already says that it is a dir.

So?

You might be enlightened by reading the "Environment variable defaults" in 'man procmailrc', and note exactly how the default value is specified there.

Because of the c-flag you are forwarding a copy.
So at the end of the .procmailrc there is still
something left to deliver.

Put the bad ganja away there Ruud. AFTER the copy, when procmail goes to deal with the default delivery you refer to, it ISN'T going to be referring to the blackberry(_at_)forward(_dot_)com address, and at least based on what we've been sent thus far, the default delivery shouldn't be invoking a sendmail type command to deliver the message to the users spool. Unless portions of the rcfile have not been shared, this error directly bears upon the user forward operations.
