} Please be more specific ...
I assume he's talking about this:
If /var/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e. does not
belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic link
or is a hard link), procmail will upon startup try to re-
name it into a file starting with `BOGUS.' and ending in
BuGless 1997/04/11 12
PROCMAIL(1) PROCMAIL(1)
an inode-sequence-code. If this turns out to be impossi-
ble, ORGMAIL will have no initial value, and hence will
inhibit delivery without a proper rcfile.
