Just say no to procmail.
Another possible problem; if your .forward file is group writable, smail will run it as user `nobody'. This is far less useful than it sounds, because nobody can't write to your folders, and your mail tends to disappear into the bit bucket. There is always `sortmail'; it's not very powerful but I like it. My configuration for the debian lists is as simple as set folder='Mail' /hamish/t:m /debian-announce/h:m /debian-devel-announce/h:m /debian-private/h:+debian-private /debian-changes/h:+debian-changes /debian-devel-changes/h:+debian-devel-changes /debian-devel/h:+debian-devel /debian-user/h:+debian /debian-policy/h:+debian-policy /debian-mentors/h:+debian-mentors /debian-qa/h:+debian-qa /debian-68k/h:+debian-68k # spam filters /lebmofo.com/h:j /gomusic.com/h:j /savetrees.com/f:j [...] Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
