	Hi,

	I hope someone has figured this out ?

	First off, filter does work if I use it in conjunction with readmsg. 
And the logging seems to work.  

	But I can't get sendmail to work with the filter program via the 
.forward file, like the Filter Guide says.  I have an entry just like the 
guide says, but sendmail keeps complaning about "host unknown". My ~/.forward 
file looks like : 

greg@cityzoo.acs | /usr/local/unsupported/filter -v -o ~/.elm/filter-errors


	And I get the following output from sendmail logged in syslog :

Nov 28 16:28:31 localhost.umbc.edu: 28158 sendmail: AA28156: to=<greg@cityzoo.ac
s.umbc.edu>, delay=00:00:08, stat=Sent
Nov 28 16:28:37 localhost.umbc.edu: 28162 sendmail: AA28160: to=<greg@cityzoo.ac
s"| /usr/local/unsupported/filter -v -o ~/.elm/filter-errors">, delay=00:00:05,
stat=Host unknown

	And the mail gets bounced to the epostmaster. How can you convince 
sendmail to pipe the mail message through filter ? 

	Any help would be appreciated,

	greg

I'm running hpux 7.0 B on a hp9000/300 model 340.  and I'm try to run version 
2.3 of elm PL 8.  And filter is filter.c,v 4.1 90/04/28 22:41:55.
