I had SpamAssassin working great until last week when my ISP changed something. 
Prior to
that, I did not need a .forward file. It seemed to run mail through the .procmailrc on 
its
own. Well, the mail stopped going through SpamAssassin, and the spam started coming in!
    So, reviewing the README file with SpamAssassin, I put the following in my 
.forward:

|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #harold

    With that in .forward, my incoming email bounces. Here's the bounce message:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
  |IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #harold
      (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

     ----- Transcript of session follows -----
  sh: .exec/usr/bin/procmail.-f-.: No such file or directory
  sh: .exit.75.#harold: command not found
  554 |IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #harold... unknown mailer
  error 127

This is running on a Debian linux system. I don't understand what all the stuff in the
.forward file means. One possibility I thought of was that procmail is not where the 
.forward
is looking for it.  Checking that, I find

which procmail
/usr/bin/procmail

So, that seems ok. OK, you experts! I look forward to the help in getting SpamAssassin
running again!

Thanks!

Harold
