I don't know if this is a bug with procmail(3.10.7-1.5), exim (1.81-1), or me, so I thought I would ask. I recently switched to exim from smail on my hamm (currently as up to date as possible) which unfortunately bounced all of my mail. It seems that exim doesn't like the mail filter pipe used by procmail in my .forward. The error message is below whivh also includes a copy of my .forward. Any ideas what is wrong? It seems to me that somehow the blank assigned to IFS is not being passed properly. Any help is gratefully appreciated. Cheers.
