How can I solve it? You probably have $MAIL set to /var/mail/admin in the environment of the user who was supposed to receive this message, and the file and/or directory /var/mail/admin cannot be created by procmail. If I'm not mistaken, when you haven't set DEFAULT in your .procmailrc explicitly, then $MAIL is where procmail will try to write all the messages that did not match any rule in ~/.procmailrc (or matched only 'copying' rules). What is your ~/.procmailrc ? What does `env' print when you login as `admin' as the environment ? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
