I just recently changed from smail+fetchmail+procmail to exim+fetchmail+exim-filters. Seems to work fine. Check http://www.exim.org for online docs. For exim filters your .forward becomes your filter file. This is mine, it is my first go at getting it setup so it may not be pretty, but it works. You have to have the '# Exim filter' on the first line of the file. # Exim filter if error_message then finish endif if $h_X-Mailing-List: contains debian-user or $h_X-Mailing-List: contains debian-changes then save /home/servis/Mail/debian endif if $h_X-Mailing-List: contains debian-devel then save /home/servis/Mail/debian-devel endif if $h_X-Comment: contains Samba then save /home/servis/Mail/samba endif if $h_Sender: contains owner-autofs then save /home/servis/Mail/autofs endif if $h_X-Comment: contains joystick then save /home/servis/Mail/linux-joystick endif if $h_To: contains matlab-emacs then save /home/servis/Mail/matlab-emacs endif if $h_X-Loop: contains ratatosk then save /home/servis/Mail/tkrat endif -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
