Dallman, & Ruud ..

adam-procmail.log still not appearing

What I've been trying to communicate as a meta-theme even more
urgently than the individual responses I make to things I see is,
with computers, things don't change unless you give them a reason.
They're not demons possessed or out to get you! So if last
night my speculation was that user "adam" does not have permission
to write a file called "adam-procmail.log" under /home/adam/Mail,
then waiting half-a-day and trying again isn't going to give
a suddenly different result.
Thank you Dallman for your forebearance with us mere mortals
grappling with what seems like a simple request to sort mail.
Like you, I don't believe in magic and an aware of the capacity
of human error to cause serious damage having once researched
human factors at crashes. Programming, however, was not
on the curriculum ..
I think I've fixed the permissions problem, but if you find
the converse I'd appreciate your suggestions on how to fix it.
At the time of writing 'etc-procmail.log' has verbosely expanded
but there is still no sign of 'adam-procmail.log' although I have
fixed '/bin/sh' and think I've given correct permissions to
'adam-procmail.log'. I have commented out the empty lines
you objected to but was not sure where to stop. You might
be able to advise on that and perhaps suggest a better way to do it.
My speculation about permissions could be wrong. It's only
my first guess. But I wish you would give us more. What is
the result of this:
ls -ld / /home/ /home/adam/ /home/adam/Mail/
/home/adam/Mail/adam-procmail.log
Moreover, if you didn't fix the bad $SHELL entry I pointed out
last night, nothing much is likely to improve. It alone may be
responsible for the bounces.

In an attempt to give you more, I attach (1) output of the command above,
(2) output of 'etc-procmail.log', and (3) the current /home/adam/.procmailrc
