Something else to check is in his /etc/postfix/main.cf file. He'll have to make sure that postfix is configured to actually use procmail as the lcoal delivery agent by setting: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail Otherwise, postfix will use its own, internal delivery agent, and will only use procmail if the directive is in the users' .forward files. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a message of: subscribe ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
