is .procmailrc in your user's home dir? ^^ > ***************** $HOME/.procmailrc ******************** > > LOGFILE=$HOME/.maillog > VERBOSE=no > PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin > MAILDIR=$HOME/mail > > :0 > * [EMAIL PROTECTED] > debian-user I don't know which header you expect to find under "To". I might be wrong, but you might mean "To:"; also, the dot "." right after the @ sign... means that procmail will look for a dot after the @ sign (which will not find, of course); and just in case there's something else between debian-user-diges and the @ sign, I would suggest to ommit @, thus: * ^To:.*debian-user-digest* debian-user But sometimes the address won't be in the "To:" header, but in "From:", or "Cc:"... so this is what I do: * ^(To|From|Cc):.*debian-user-digest* debian-user Horacio.
