I skimmed the "bug" on the URL you sent. It seems that procmail chokes if
.procmailrc is in a world-readable directory. I wouldn't call this a bug. Lots of
programs behave this way to ensure they are configured in a more secure way than
allowing anyone to write to their files. Mine are in /home/sites/siteXY/users/myuser
and that directory is chmod 771 (rwxrwx--x) so it's *not* world-readable. Maybe you
need to change the permissions on your directory. I have autosponders installed on
RaQ2s that work. If you need more assistance let me know.
