The problem is on our AT&T 3B2/400 running SVR3.2 and WIN/3B Ver 3.0. When the filter program is attempted to be invoked by sendmail via the .forward file, an error message is returned to the originator. No errors are produced with respect to the filter program (it is never called from sendmail). I was informed by readers of this news group that my filter entry in my .forward file was lacking quotes. Well I changed it and tried again and I received the same error. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Could my sendmail.cf configuration cause this problem? I have attached my .forward file entry along with the error message which is returned when mail is sent to the user with the .forward file. /usr2/amhs/.forward: "| /usr/local/bin/filter -vo /usr2/amhs/.filter-errors" Error message returned to the sender: From graham Wed May 23 15:01 EDT 1990 >From MAILER-DAEMON Wed May 23 15:00:58 1990 Return-Path: Received: by netwrx1.nw1.com (5.59/25-eef) id AA01348; Wed, 23 May 90 15:00:58 EDT Date: Wed, 23 May 90 15:00:58 EDT From: Mail Delivery Subsystem Full-Name: Mail Delivery Subsystem Message-Id: <9005231900.AA01348@netwrx1.nw1.com> Subject: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 1 To: graham Status: R ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ED: is not an identifier 554 "| /usr/local/bin/filter -vo /usr2/amhs/.filter-errors"... unknown mailer error 1 ----- Unsent message follows ----- Received: by netwrx1.nw1.com (5.59/25-eef) id AA01345; Wed, 23 May 90 15:00:58 EDT Date: Wed, 23 May 90 15:00:58 EDT From: Jim Graham Full-Name: Jim Graham Message-Id: <9005231900.AA01345@netwrx1.nw1.com> To: amhs Subject: test after .forward fix testing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
