First the good news - your mail isn't lost forever, and is piling up in smail's error area. Once you get this problem resolved, you can get all your old mail by doing (as root): cd /var/spool/smail mv error/* input runq But first we need to see what the problem is with your .forward - from the error messages, smail is trying to invoke procmail, but is running into problems. Here's how I'd test it. As cpopescu, do the following: sh -c "IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #cpopescu" You should then get a blank line as procmail waits for your input; type: >From testing From: someone To: cpopescu Subject: Not much This is just a test message <CTRL-D> Where I have <CTRL-D> I mean for you to hit CTRL-D. At some point in this whole process, you'll get an error message from procmail telling you what problem it's having - looking at the procmail source, I can't tell what would make procmail use that exit code. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
