Howdy,

A week ago, I configured procmail to get rid of spam, 
unsubscribe request submitted to lists instead of 
listservers, double messages (which are cc'ed to me 
and posted to lists) and so on. I tested it by simulating
a spamming domain, by sending to myself a message cc'ed
to me as well, sending "unsubscribe" request to myself, 
and the log (below) shows that it works properly. However,
it doesn't seem to find "formail" (underlined below).
What am I doing wrong?
