That's right. Here's a snippet from a typical Debian exim configuration file: ,----[ /etc/exim.conf fragment ] | # This director runs procmail for users who have a .procmailrc file | | procmail: | driver = localuser | transport = procmail_pipe | require_files = ${local_part}:+${home}:+${home}/.procmailrc:+/usr/bin/procmail | no_verify `---- Notice the "require_files" directive. It's saying that if ~/.procmailrc exists and procmail is installed, route the message through the "procmail_pipe" transport, which you can find defined elsewhere in the same file. -- Steven E.
