.forward and .procmailrc



Hi,

It's me again. I looked what's in the logfile of smail in an attempt to
see what is wrong with my .forward and .procmailrc files. I cannot figure
out what to do next, but it seems to me that it is something wrong
_before_ procmail, so procmail does not get any mail to process. 

I wonder why is this happening because I put the .forward file with
the recommended text:

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

with the following permissions:

 -rw-r--r--   1 cpopescu cpopescu       67 Feb  2 18:14 .forward

Here is a relevant part of the logfile of smail:

Any clues will be most appreciated.
