I'm using formail, piping the output through fgrep, sed, and/or awk

I get a lot of

An aside: most or all of these, you could easily do in pure procmail
and avoid the shell calls.
I'm wondering if you have rights to execute in the shell from procmail.
That might be the problem. The error happens every time there is a pipe
in your statement. Oh, and you should define a shell in your
.procmailrc, the definition should be early on, and it should be
/bin/sh unless you have an extraordinarily persuasive reason for it
to be something else.
.procmailrc
SHELL = /bin/sh
GREP="egrep -iqsf" # ignore case, quiet, suppress errors,
FGREP="fgrep -if" # ignore case (whole words? -w)
WHITELIST=$PMDIR/whitelist # people
You've never defined $PMDIR anywhere here.
