I set up procmail using the man page and it works when I
postprocess the mail with the shell script from the man page. But
when I place .forward in $HOME it does absolutely nothing.

This is my .forward:

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

ls-l shows:

-rw-rw-r--   1 djohnson djohnson       58 Oct 21 09:39 .forward
-rw-rw-r--   1 djohnson djohnson      284 Oct 21 07:44 .procmailrc

Some people on the Procmail List have told me procmail should
work without .forward because I have

Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@ShPfn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                A=procmail -a $h -d $u

in /etc/sendmail.cf. But without .forward it doesn't work either.

I am using Red Hat Linux 3.0.3, procmail-3.10, sendmail-8.7.6,
and kernel 2.0.23.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
