Indeed there is. $ formail -s procmail < mbox Where `mbox' is the file that contains the messages you want to filter. Be sure that no procmail filter rule (nor the default folder) write to mbox. I will imagine that you get a nice loop (not tested though ;). Regards, Stig -- brautaset.org Registered Linux User 107343
