if exim uses procmail as its LDA, no .forward is needed - your .procmailrc is read already. since you don't need a .forward, my guess is that exim is indeed using procmail as an LDA (i don't think it has its own). it doesn't notice whether or not procmail is in use though.... with postfix (if mailbox_command isn't set to procmail -t) you don't need a fancy sendmail style .forward.... i just use: zugzug% cat .forward "| /usr/bin/procmail -t" which seems to work fine. w
