Ok I see problems here allready. I assume you are delivering into folders and that they are in unix mbox format. You must must must must use locking. Change the :0 to :0: in your recipes. The only time you can afford to not use locking is if you are delivering to another address or delivering into a MailDir. Here is an example of a forwarding recipe: :0c * ^FROM speakup ! otherperson at domain.com Here is a breakdown: :0 (start a recipe) * start a condition. ^From match from at the beginning of a line. ! forward the mail to the address following. All your messages are ending up in $MAIL/inbox and if your mail reader is not set to read messages in the inbox file you'll never see them. Remove the default line and messages will stay in /var/spool/mail/username which is probably what you want. Do read the quick start I gave to the list; it taught me 90% of what I know about procmail. If you want more info on mailbox locking why it is needed; why you need the collon etc let me know. Regards, Kerry.
