Procmail filtering

Hello all,

I seem to be having a bit of trouble getting procmail to filter e mails to individual mailboxes on my FC4 machine.

I am using fetchmail to poll my email to my machine and I want to use procmail rather my then my mail client to filter my e mail. I don't have many mailboxes but I change machines often enough that its hard to keep updating my mail client filters.

When I tail my mail.log file it does show that .fetchmail is looking at my .forward file in my home directory so I am assuming that there is an issue with the syntax of my .procmailrc file. Im new to using procmail so I copied and pasted some procmail examples into my .procmailrc file and gave it a whirl but no luck.

Any help is appreciated..


Here are what I have in my files:

.forward:

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

.procmailrc:

# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=~/mail/IMAP #elm users might use $HOME/Mail instead
#PMDIR=~/.procmail
DEFAULT=/var/mail/username
LOGFILE=~/procmail.log
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/default.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/general.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/lists.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/guestbook.rc
#INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/spam.rc

# Put mail from mailing lists into mailboxs
