RE: procmail for individual users on server

I am still struggling with getting procmail working for me.

The story so far...

I have created the .forward in the user Home directory. 
Permissions are -rwx------ 1 vs1040 vs1040 66

I have created the .procmailrc
Permissions are -rwx------ 1 vs1040 vs1040 66

The permissions for ./ are Permissions are drwx------ 8 vs1040 vs1040 4096

I have the following in my .forward

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #vs1040"

(this is the location of procmail on my system)


I have the following in my .procmailrc


VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail/  #This directory must exist!!!
# Tell procmail where to put the log file
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/procmail.log
           
:0
!mwharton(_at_)pcvic(_dot_)org(_dot_)au


No log file is being generated. When I send an email to
vs1040(_at_)s1(_dot_)hostnet(_dot_)net(_dot_)au I get the following Message 
returned...


   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #vs1040"
    (reason: Service unavailable)
    (expanded from: <vs1040(_at_)s1(_dot_)hostnet(_dot_)net(_dot_)au>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
smrsh: "IFS='" not available for sendmail programs (stat failed)
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable


Does this mean that procmail is not active?
