Thank you for your reply.
The script is really pretty simple, I've included it below. (This is
to get started; when I have it working I'll be adding "exit 0 if ..."
statements.)
Q: If it is so simple, how come you're not doing these checks within
procmail itself, which would be less costly?
Here is what should be an equivalent all-procmail solution:
# Your match string is presumably case sensitive, based on your Perl code,
# so I specify the D flag here.

# Note that explicitly delivering to default, if it is the last action of
# your rcfile, isn't really necessary. If you were doing this prior to the
# end of the rcfile, it'd be different.

As to your perl problems:
What version of perl? Use 'perl -v'
What is your shell set to (as procmail sees it)?
Is mail processed on the SAME host that you shell to?
This is a not uncommon issue with large ISPs - your procmail script may be
invoked by a host other than the one you shell into, and thus settings (and
tool versions) are not consistent with where you shell.
From your post, there's a syntax error at line 10 - which shows a
closing PARENTHESIS, not brace. Your posted code has a closing brace
on line 10 though. Do you have more than one copy of this script?
Out of habit, you should add -wT to the perl commandline. Doesn't
have
an effect in this particular case, but is a good practice.
