Did you check the content of the directory /etc/smrsh ?

I see mail arriving there in maillog, and my .forward file
passes it to procmail - but procmail appears to be not doing its

What could be wrong?

What is in your .procmailrc $HOME/.procmailrc
Thanks for answering. .procmailrc is a restored file that worked
perfectly before - I'll give you the details if you still want to see
it after reading this.
Digging around in logs I found that there have been some problems with
perl updates - and I assume that procmail is a perl app. It seems
likely that I messed things up when setting repo priorities, so I set
out to clean things up.
First I removed the packages that wouldn't update, keeping a list so
that I can restore them as soon as I have the problem sorted, and
tweaked the priorities of rpmforge, since that seems to be the one
that was missing out. At first I thought that had done it, as I got a
clean list of updates about to perform. Unfortunately, I then got a
transaction error -
file /sbin/extlinux from install of syslinux-4.05-1.el6.rfx.x86_64
conflicts with file from package syslinux-extlinux-4.02-4.el6.x86_64
If I try to update the remaining packages as they stand at present I get
Error: glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686 (sl)
Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-1.25.el6
Installed: glibc-common-2.12.1.47.el6_2.5.x86_64 (@sl-security)
glibc-common = 2.12.1.47.el6_2.5
Available: glibc-common-2.12-1.25.el6.x86_64 (sl)
glibc-common = 2.12-1.25.el6
I thought of removing glibc, again, to instantly re-install, to ensure
I got the right version, but that promises to remove hundreds of
packages, so I abandoned that idea.
By now I am completely out of my depth. Is it possible to repair this
system, or would be simpler to just abandon it, and try a clean
install, setting up everything afresh? I hate to be beaten, but a
broken system is a liability.
