Actually, you're quoting out of context. That paragraph only applies when procmail is delivering to berkeley-format mail spool. I have lots of rules that say: :0 * some rule here a_mailbox/ And there are no From lines there. Leave it up to procmail to add From lines if they're needed. SA certainly shouldn't be adding them. -- Taral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is digitally signed. Please PGP encrypt mail to me.
