Entirely. I'm personally using procmail but there are other scripts as well. With graphical setup tool, this means: Get procmail and dotfile installed. As mailbox owner, run dotfile. Choose procmail module. Set up your mail filters. (Btw, sorting out the debian-lists is very handy. I sort by "resent-from") Do "generate" and possibly "save" Rename dot.procmailrc to .procmailrc Set up a .forward file in the base directory of your user account. Mine is "|/usr/bin/procmail" (with the quotes actually but I guess you can do without too) and works fine with exim. Tada!! (You can do well with a backup of all mails in the beginning (as suggested) till you're sure everything works okay.) Harald
