Uncompress the contents of /usr/doc/smail/guide to another directory

That would be smail choking on ~/.forward and leaving the incoming mail
in /var/spool/smail/error/xxx-xxx

Try this (note the spaces)
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #kotsya"
FWIW here's how I hook procmail in /etc/smail/transports
local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe; user=root,
cmd="/usr/bin/procmail -d $($user$)"
This eliminates the need for a ~/.forward. But it does result in
the /var/spool/mail/user system of delivery.
