Is there a way round this?
The f in :0fw tells procmail the pipe is a filter, so it expects to put the resulting output somewhere, instead of thinking the pipe is a delivery mechanism. Try it without the f. Also try setting LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log and then look at the log file to see where procmail is sending things. -chris
