smail vs procmail



Hi,

	I have a .forward file with the following line:

"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #mario"

	This used to work under sendmail. Now, I just replaced sendmail
with smail and I can't get my email filtered trough procmail.
	The replacement was done with:
	dpkg --force-depends --purge sendmail;
	dpkg -i smail_3.?.?.deb

	Looking at /var/adm/smail/logfile, I found:

12/29/1997 16:00:01: [m0xmjTt-0000YCa] "|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/bin/procmail \
&& test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #mario" ... director \
dotforward: child of <mario> insecure, access as 'nobody'
12/29/1997 16:00:01: [m0xmjTt-0000YCa] Delivered TO:IFS=' ' &&  \
p=/usr/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #mario \
ORIG-TO:<mario> DIRECTOR:dotforward TRANSPORT:pipe

	Can somebody help to decipher this for me, please?
