- I finally decided to make the move and learn and install the
- filter utility for my mail account. However, I'm having some
- problems and I'm not sure what is wrong. When people send me
- mail, the message gets bounced as shown below.

- Here is my .forward file -
-
- "!/usr/local/elm-2.3/bin/filter -vo /home/loden/ellis/Mail/.elm/filter_errors"
-
- Question. The file 'filter_errors' does not yet exist. However, from reading
- the documentation, that doesn't seem to matter. So what's wrong?
-
- Thanks for the help.

- John
-
- BTW - this is elm2.3 PL11 and whatever filter version corresponds to that.
