I'm trying to setup procmail to filter incoming messages to several
different "folders", but it doesn't seem to be getting invoked when new
mail arrives.  I'm using the .forward file format shown in man procmail:

"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #conrads"

I've checked and rechecked everything, my .procmailrc, etc.  Still, it
just won't work.

Can someone help me out with this?  Thanks!
