When playing with procmail for the first time, it is good to make a 'Safety Net' to prevent you from losing emails. Add the following to the beginning of your .procmailrc # Safety Net :0 c backup :0 ic | cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* |sed -e 1,32d` This will keep of copy of recent messages in 'backup' that will be their no matter where you proc other mail to go. I don't have much more helpful to add except that it looks like you wanted 'From' where you have 'TO' in your above example. Here is a snippet from my .procmailrc ######### .procmailrc ############# :0: * ^From.*debian-user debian-user :0: * ^From.*debian-devel debian-devel #### end snippet ############### -Mitch
