What's wrong with the procmail-set one?

using the -t flag
- cat and other progs are variables for security reasons, they are
pointing to binaries that are setup for this specific use. I currently
have those binaries set-uid to eliminate the possibility of
permissions problems

Even with these changes I get the same exact outcome in my log file,
and no autoresponder email sent. Do you think it is possible that my
set-uid binaries are causing some issue?

I do not know.  Why don't you try it t'other way and see?

Anyway, the next thing I'd do is break things down and try
each command by itself to see if it works.  Then start to
string them together again.  If you don't know how to feed
messages to a test harness (also called a sandbox), check out
Sean Straw's page describing how.
