I want to use the .forward file to process incoming messages for a specific userID, but I can't remember the command syntax...

It's something like this:

userID, "| ~userID/Mail_Parser"

I used this approach several years ago, but can't remember just how I did it, and each of the entries I've tried so far seem to fail...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

TIA

Here is a procmail example I use for Spam Assassin

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail || exit 75 #user"

Thanks for responding, but I already resolved the issue...

I'm not using procmail, simply sendmail, and the syntax I was using was correct...

It was a "permission" related problem with sendmail...

Sendmail is very picky when it comes to file and directory permissions...

But again, thanks for responding...
