Hi There

I have something really strange going on with my mail.
I have 7 users on my machine who all use pine, a .forward file, and a 
.procmailrc

There mail all gets to them, but mine does not... for some unknown 
strange reason which I can not resolve myself. Included is a copy of one 
of the users .forward file and mine. Here is a users...

"| IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || 
exit 75 #natasha"

and here is mine:

"| IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || 
exit 75 #ryan"

[donald] /home/ryan # ls -la .forward
-rwxr-xr-x  1 ryan  wheel  112 May 29 08:15 .forward

[donald] /home/natasha # ls -la .forward 
-rw-rw-r--  1 natasha  guest  91 May 21 15:22 .forward

included is a copy of my .procmailrc
