Hi Folks,


        It might work with just the command in .forward.  So, it might
not
only procmail's problem.  One must make sure his/her .procmailrc and
.forward are not world writable.


As many of you will know, sendmail (and smail, don't know about others)
check the permissions on your .forward file and will not utilise it if its
'world' writable. I would assume (can't check as I don't have the source)
that procmail implements this with its .promailrc, if it doesn't perhaps
this might solve the problem, unless I missed something of cousre *^)...

Thanks for your time,

Ken.
