can a similar thing be done without .procmailrc? i do not have procmail on. have not yet felt the need for procmail. but i do have a very rudimentary .forward file. by the way, how is mail actually handled? fetchmail -> exim -> .forward -> spamassassin or some other way? i will also reiterate my earlier question here. if i have a .forward file and keep adding filters there, will it be a close substitute to spamassassin? > But if it is speed you are looking for..... i sure am looking for speed. my system was 'crawling'!! -- regards, sandip p deshmukh ------***-------- Hi!
