I am not sure I get this - what do you mean, ISP? Or is it the site that hosts
kcircle.com? And, is email.fwd a sendmail aliases file? Have you included it
in /etc/aliases? Or is it /etc/mail/mailertable?

Set verbose on while debugging procmail and send logs to a file - it helps.

Nowadays sendmail come with (at least in RHL 6.0) procmail as the default MDA.
So the .forward is not really necessary.

See above. Which program parses email.fwd?
Binand
--
main(int c,char **v){while(!fork()){strcpy(v[0],tmpnam(0));sleep(1);}}
A program that changes its name and pid every second.
Try this program at your own risk! ---> Binand <---
