okay, i did this a while back, but haven't been able to track down the docs that showed me how to do it. after six hours, i'm giving up and asking y'all'uns...
you've got a mbox with hundreds of messages in it, and you've updated your .procmailrc or exim.conf with new filtering rules, and you wanna run them on your mbox to split it up into pieces, perhaps forwarding certain messages on to other folks, or deleting those matching pattern X. my failing memory tells me it involved an odd option along the lines of "-0f0" or "-f1"... what's the command for that? exim? sendmail? procmail? shredmail? rm? mkfs? aaugh? blither? punt? surrender? panic? mentalbreakdown? grr? (i'd be delighted to RTF manpage or info or usr/share/doc/* or howto on that if i knew where to look...)
