No, you do not *need* postfix, but your MDA *must* deliver to procmail in some manner. You may process the mail with procmail: formail -ds procmail -m <recipe.file> <mail.file> formail -ds procmail <mail.file> The crux is that the MDA *must* deliver to procmail. ps. I have installed rss2email and it works w/o a problem after assigning the work-a-round for the unknown mail-from address. I do have postfix/procmail installed. But I set rss2email to deliver direct to local mail, not to gmail or my provider. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
