Just out of curiosity; I'm using Exim as MTA and Mutt (of course) as MUA. Procmail filters incoming mail into different mailboxes and kills spam from known addresses. Still, I haven't set up ~/.forward. I only have ~/.procmailrc, which calls for another file, which is the recipe file itself. So, is it really necessary to create ~/.forward in order to use Procmail, or is it just Exim, who notices if there's Procmail in use? -- Jussi Ekholm, "Everything is so fine it could be a little, ill flower don't let your mind take you in misery [EMAIL PROTECTED] all the feelings you're not so much pleased http://ekhowl.goa-head.org they're just to take you to sweet harmony"
