OT: procmailrc question

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

Thanks for this very much, and also the explanations!

>   :0 a
>   /dev/null

So, I tried this, but without the .... (I guessed that you were
suggesting this for arguments, is this correct, and the default
versions are just fine for using sylfilter). 

Therefore, I put in this:

:0 Wc
| /usr/local/bin/sylfilter 
:0 a
$HOME/Mail/Junk/.


However, I still get the same error in my procmail.log file:

No input file.

Before reporting on the process for the next step (as it was doing
previously).

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
