I've created separate rc.* files in a $HOME/Procmail dir like that : $HOME/Procmail/rc.subscriptions : :0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian/
:0 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lea/ :0 * ^Subject:.* Inbox/ And my $HOME/.procmailrc : # Next setting may be needed if a program, such as spamassassin or # virussnag, is invoked from your procmailrc, but it should not be # needed for the simple sorting recipes in this step-by-step section. # Details are in Check Your $SHELL and $PATH in Troubleshooting below. ## SHELL=/bin/sh # Directory for storing procmail configuration and log files # You can name this environment variable anything you like # (for example PROCMAILDIR) or, if you prefer, don't set it # (but then don't refer to it!)

INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.subscriptions INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.worms Found it in a tutorial. So, When I compare with yours all seems ok, didn't ? If it is, what is the command to place the messages in the MALDIR ? When I give the command 'procmail', it hangs until a ^C. mess-mate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
