- Your .procmailrc file looks fine. My guess is that the problem lies in your
- .forward file. Look in the man page for procmail(1) in the NOTES section, and
- check to see if you don't have any extraneous entries in your .forward file.
-
- I suspect you looked at the .forward file example in the vacation(1) man page.
- Procmail, unlike vacation does not need the \username entry in the .forward
- file.
