You don't need to use a .forward file in this case. Read section 2c of /usr/doc/procmail/examples/advanced. You just have to add the following two lines to your /etc/smail/transports file, replace the existing "local" entry: local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe; user=root, cmd="/usr/bin/procmail -d $($user$)" Gene
