I use xbuffy to do mail notification. It's a better xbiff-like program. > Also, how can I have mail that have been cross posted still sorted into > the correct boxes?

When you receive newmail on your spool file, `more' it and you will see an initial `From' line which you can use with procmail. Examples: ----- MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail #you'd better make sure it exists :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] procmail :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] fvwm :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] aic7xxx ----- Or put all mailing lists other than Debian in `mailing': ----- MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail #you'd better make sure it exists :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian #Majordomo lists :0: * ^Sender: owner-\/[-a-zA-Z0-9_.]* maillists #SmartList lists :0: * ^X-Mailing-List: <\/[-a-zA-Z0-9_.]* maillists ----- -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
