Re: Child Exited 127 Error
Kyle:
Thanks for your response.
I'm using Mutt, Fetchmail, Postfix & Procmail.
#1. What, pray tell, is:
"killed by signal" - which could be a segfault"
#2. I tried your suggestion:
echo "foo" > | /whatever/program/you/use
But it only returned:
"No recipients were specified."
I assumed (perhaps erroneously) that 'foo' was a valid email address.
I must be missing something ...
Bill
