Hi There

"| IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #natasha"

and here is mine:

"| IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #ryan"

[donald] /home/ryan # ls -la .forward -rwxr-xr-x 1 ryan wheel 112 May 29 08:15 .forward

[donald] /home/natasha # ls -la .forward -rw-rw-r-- 1 natasha guest 91 May 21 15:22 .forward

I don't know why you would need group write on the file. 8-).

Are you sure the character in IFS=' ' is a space? You might have swapped a space for a tab. Did you copy the other file and modify it, or did you cut and past/retype it?

Look also at her bin directory vs. yours.; ther may be an auxillary program it can find when running as you.

Thanks for the reply, although a friend and myself found the problem, there was a file called test in my home dir, and this was inteferring with my .forward

Thanks again Ryan
