On the procmailrc man page, after
| Starts the specified program, possibly in $SHELL if any of the
characters $SHELLMETAS are spotted. You can optionally prepend
this pipe symbol with variable=, which will cause stdout of the
program to be captured in the environment variable (procmail
will not terminate processing the rcfile at this point). If you
specify just this pipe symbol, without any program, then proc-
mail will pipe the mail to stdout.
perhaps add
If the specified program is not executable,
"sh specified program" will be called.
That's right, procmail forgives the user for forgetting chmod +x. If
you don't believe me, extract the attached cpio and run make test1.
And further please add
The user is advised to remember to please make the specified
program executable, because one day if he adds any of
the $SHELLMETAS, "specified program: Permission denied"
will be the result!
If you don't believe me, run make test2.
