If you're not planning to use procmail to deliver your mail, you don't need to worry about a procmailrc file. The reason to install procmail was to get "formail", which does not use the procmailrc file. > That would mean I'm logged in as root, run the command, formail sends all > mails to procmail which sees the alias in procmail rc and sends the mails > out? Correct? You could do it that way, but it requires more setup. This is easier: # formail -s sendmail y...@example.com < /var/mail/root p -- Paul Chvostek <p...@it.ca> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
