About two days ago procmail just stopped working. Here is the error I see in /var/log/mail: sendmail[5115]: RAA05114: forward /home/jlh/.forward: World writable directory I have read the sendmail book on .forward and permissions. Here are the permissions of the various involved files (jlh is the user): lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 8 2000 jlh -> /mnt/hda4/jlh drwxrwxr-x 9 root root 1024 Jul 23 21:00 hda4 drwx------ 82 jlh users 30720 Aug 23 18:07 jlh -r--r--r-- 1 jlh users 27 Jul 23 2000 /mnt/hda4/jlh/.forward -rw-r--r-- 1 jlh users 391 Jul 22 08:58 /mnt/hda4/jlh/.procmailrc I don't see any world writeable files or directories here, except for the link. But, that has been like that for months, I believe, and they claim symbolic link permissions mean nothing. Any insight appreciated. Joel
