It shouldn't be there. I think PATH needs to be defined before this rule.

Yeah, you need to use the .forward if your MTA doesn't use procmail
as its LDA (none do by default that I know of.)

Not true. It needs to go before your other rules, not before
the environment definitions. The FAQ is not very clear on this.

Nope, but here's my *entire* .procmailrc file, which is working fine.


--- begin

VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.Procmail

:0fw
| spamassassin -P -a

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
spam

INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc

The rules can also be put in their own .rc file, which should
be included before any other rules. Don't worry about that now,
though.
