I am currently trying to figure out why autoincorporation isn't working on a couple of machines which have 6.7 installed. I am baffled, because it works fine on another machine. The .forward and .maildelivery files are the same, but the mail bounces back with the error: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal.-user.gatesl: not found 554 | /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user gatesl... unknown mailer error 1 If anyone knows what might be the problem, I would appreciate help. thanx lee

In .forward, you must quote the command: "| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -usr gatesl" On some systems you can get away without quoting, because the set up does not substitute '.' for blank when parsing. But since you are using special characters, quoting is the only reliable approach. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
