Try substituting a " &" for the ";", or " &&"? ie. | play /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg & notify-send -i Also, make sure notify-send is within your $PATH. ie: $ whereis notify-send /usr/local/bin/notify-send $ echo $PATH /bin:/usr/bin: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin But I'm sure some procmail junky will find you're error better then I!
