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
