I'm guessing that on my Fedora system there is some sort of hard link. I
have no idea why.
[mark@Zaphod ~]$ which procmail
/usr/bin/procmail
[mark@Zaphod ~]$ su -

/bin/procmail
[root@Zaphod ~]# ll /bin/procmail
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root mail 112048 Aug  4  2013 /bin/procmail
[root@Zaphod ~]# ll /usr/bin/procmail
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root mail 112048 Aug  4  2013 /usr/bin/procmail

But in any case I tried with both during my testing.

On the first run through that was my first thought too - I went straight
to that to check - but no, I did have the | character all along.

Other stuff I have tried:
I have tried both with and without the "w" switch. With w it just
endless tries but does not get as far as logging the attempt. Without
the w it obviously loops, each attempt being logged, until I change
the /etc/procmailrc to allow it to complete.

I have also tried:
| /bin/procmail -d mark	
| /usr/bin/procmail -d mark	
| /bin/formail -s procmail -d mark
| /bin/formail -s /usr/bin/procmail -d mark
| /bin/formail -s  | /usr/bin/procmail -d mark 
| /usr/bin/formail -s /usr/bin/procmail -d mark
| /bin/formail -s /usr/bin/procmail -d mark
| /bin/formail -s /bin/procmail -d mark

All with the same result.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks for the help so far...
