Thaks Glyn - I've already got procmail doing list sorting, a bit of spam catching and so on. I'm wondering how to get a machine-wide procmail set up so that each user (well, me, really - I doubt my SO'll be at that stage for a while :-) can have their own .procmailrc applied /after/ the mail hits the box and is seperated to different users. > Have a look at man procmail > procmailrc > procmailex > procmailex gives me one match for "user", and a few for "different", none of which seem to address this problem. I know it's a very powerful program as I've gone through setting it up a few times as different hard disks have gone down (backups - I've heard of them ...), but the procmail list does seem flame people quite often for daring to ask about using procmail in this manner. "It's not an MDA!!!!", apparently. So, how do I get mail from /one/ incoming mailbox to be delivered to different local accounts and not have to make the account owners take any special precautions because of this?
