You must have quotes around this:
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
otherwise /usr/bin/procmail will be interpreted as a file in which to put the
message, not as an argument to `exec'.
Someone mentioned having a "fail-safe" entry in .procmail -- a good idea.
You might also want to put a "fail-safe" entry in .forward, which bypasses
procmail altogether, such as:
.forward:
"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"
/home/filsin/backup-mail
Make sure to give an absolute path; just `backup-mail' would be interpreted as
a user to whom the mail should be forwarded.
