Hi Kevin,

Do you have this as the first line of your ".procmailrc" file :
    SHELL=/bin/sh

If you are on a raq 3 or raq 4, it the parent directory permissions thats making this sick probably.
Try this:
    chmod 2711 /home/sites/site1/users/username

Make sure the ".procmailrc" file owned by "username", and that its an ascii file and not binary (ie if you ftpd it)

Then the problems should go away !
