I use, Exmh, sendmail, and procmail and I think that is a great combination,
someday (soon?) I will probably change sendmail to Postfix. But for now I have
been using sendmail, I have also a short while used smail, but it's hard to
configure the way I like it to work. I have read everything some ware in the
exmh or the nmh documentation.
My entries in the procmailrs files is something like this:
:0 w: debian/announce/$LOCKEXT
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| /usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +debian/announce -create
:0 w: inbox/$LOCKEXT
| /usr/lib/mh/rcvstore +inbox -create
Anv most important I have in the beginning of my procmailrc file:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail/
LOGFILE=$HOME/Mail/procmail-log
LOCKEXT=.lock
# This is to make sure I only get mail one.
:0 Wh : msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 .msgid.cache
# And rewrite to fit in mh folders.
:0 Whf
| formail -z -R 'From ' X-Envelope-From:
