Well the last thing I need is to get procmail working, if I can't I may end up just abandoning Debian altogether (I'm not threatening it, but it's just really annoying, and I NEED procmail, it's not even a "nice thing to use", I NEED it). I really don't get why Getmail won't feed the mail into Procmail...It just hangs, I'm getting no errors or anything. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
