I bit the bullet a few years ago and installed an IMAP4 server -- initially Dovecot, but quickly replaced by dbmail. This allows you to use a sieve script, instead of procmail "recipes". Moreover, each user maintains his/her own sieve script. So, my mail path is now: 1) fetchmail, from my ISP's POP3 server; 2) postfix, including spam and virus scanning with amavisd-new; 3) dbmail, for local IMAP4 delivery. I am proud to say it is the best "home brew" mail system I have ever seen. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) ======================================================================
