Hi all [esp Binand <g>] -

I have a domain mailbox for kcircle.com in which all mail reaches a single
mailbox.  From there, it is distributed to over a hundred users, using an
email.fwd file (the isp parses this to deliver mails) in the format

[EMAIL PROTECTED]         [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]         [EMAIL PROTECTED]

8< long list (over 100 mail ids)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]   kcircle (my pop mailbox) <= My autoresponder
@kcircle.com            kcircle

To set up an autoresponder for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I set up this -

.forward

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #kcircle"

and .procmailrc

VERBOSE=off
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
FILEDIR=$HOME/autoresponders
:0 ic
* ^[EMAIL PROTECTED]
*!^FROM_DAEMON
*!^X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|(formail -r -A "Precedence: junk" \
-I"From: KCircle Auto Responder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" \
-I"Subject: Your mail to K-Circle" \
-A "X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; \
cat $FILEDIR/info.txt )|$SENDMAIL -t

^^^^^^ autoresponders/info.txt is a writeup abt kcircle.

What happens is that the incoming mail is delivered to procmail, but does
not go further, and the autoresponder is not sent out :( Further, mail
delivery does not take place for ~any~ mailbox as the email.fwd file seems
to get bypassed, and mail delivered only to procmail.

Someone clarify this - what have I done wrong?
