You can configure almost all MTA to use procmail for local mail transport. So people who are lucky to have procmail as their default local mail deliverer don't have to use the .forward-File. Maybe you can ask your administrator to setup sendmail or exim to use procmail. This is (more or less) just a small configuration change. Moreover you can also use the "procmail sanitizer" to check for worms and viruses in the mails before they reach your MUA http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html As there are several persons in my network reading their mail under windows this is just great! -- cu --== Jerri ==-- Homepage: http://www.jerri.de/ ICQ: 54160208
