ls is usually implemented as an internal command in the shell, it seems
that you are not using a 'real' bash shell (/usr/local/bin), and that
'reduced' version doesn't have an ls.

On my system I had to do some changes on that script, maybe you should
look at a different default script too. The bit that gives you errors is
the part of the procmail script that checks if the 'already sent' cache
is older than the number of days configured and (eventually) wipe it
out. I changed that bit like this:

$this->_action[] = '  FILEDATE=`find . -maxdepth 1 '.
		'-type f '.
		'-name \'.vacation.cache\' '.
		'-atime +'.$days.' | wc -l`';
$this->_action[] = '  DUMMY=`test $FILEDATE -gt 0'
		.' && rm \'.vacation.cache\'`';
$this->_action[] = '';


This is around line 430 of
