exim filters and/or procmail



Aarg. I upgraded my system yesterday and smail stopped delivering my messages.
I noticed that fetchmail was downloading, but then I didn't have any new
messages in my folders. I couldn't find anything useful in the log files and I
couldn't find the messages anywhere, so it looks like they went to /dev/null.
I'm now switching to exim.


Does anyone have an example of exim filters which split list mail into
different files?


Does anyone know how to get procmail working with exim? 

Here is one of my attempted .forward files:

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

And here are the results from /var/log/exim/mainlog:

Please cc: replies. Before I removed my .forward exim generated quite a few
errors to debian-user-request. I'm afraid I may be kicked off the list.
