Use exim filters. The rules go in your .forward file. Here is what I have for the debian list: ------------------------------------------ # Exim filter if $header_to: contains "debian" then save $home/Maildir/.debian/ finish endif ---------------------------------------- If you have "create_directory = true" in the local_delivery section of exim.conf then your new Maildir's will automatically be created. You can read about exim filters here: /usr/share/doc/exim/filter.txt.gz Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
