mail failed, sending to address owner

[Ron Winograd]

Hello everyone,
	I have a little elm problem, and was wondering if anyone could
help. I am trying to make use of the filtering program, filter, that comes
with elm. Anyway, I have it set up, according to instructions, on a System V
386 unix, and cannot seem to get it to work. The actual deciding what to do
with the mail works fine, but the filter program cannot seem to get the mail
that should stay in the mailbox back into the mailbox. Here is a sample error
that results when I try to do it. This is what I find in my mailbox:

Testing...!!!

Sometimes, it also creates a file called EMERGENCY_MBOX and puts the actual
message in there. If anyone has any clue as to what I am doing wrong, please
let me know, either by a response here, or email, whichever is more
convienient. Thanks,
-Ron
