Filtering is not exactly what this list is about, I'm afraid. > I have read man pages and a couple of Linux-books, but I still don't quite > understand how this thing works. > Is it somehow possible to do things so, that procmail filters the messages > to the ~/Mail -directory and mutt reads that directory directly instead of > /var/spool/mail/jani? Yes and no. Via the $spoolfile variable you can point mutt to a file inside that directory. But you cannot handle a directory with mbox (you're using mbox?) files as if it was a single file. > Can I also put mutt to show list of folders in my ~/Mail -directory at > startup? I strongly suggest reading the mutt manual. Tell mutt via $mailbox what your files in ~/Mail are and start mutt with: 'mutt -y' > Right now my .procmailrc looks like this: [...] > LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from > In fact, I'm not even sure what that LOGFILE-line means, I just took it from > one of the example files. :-) Think about it once again. Could the name 'LOGFILE' deal with logging procmail's actions to a file for any future consultation? > And finally, because I use modem connection, when I send messages with > sendmail -q, it would be very nice to know when the messages are sent, so I > know when I can close connection. Checking the situation all the time with > sendmail -bp is frustrating, because sendmail gives no output. 'mailq' is a synonym for 'sendmail -bp'. It's shorter. ;-) Cheers, Rocco.
