Note that it's not sendmail that puts the mail in /var/spool/mail/$USER. That's done by the local delivery agent configured in sendmail.mc, which might be procmail. If it is, you can hook your filter in at delivery time. I use this to run the "Procmail Sanitizer" on my system to clean potentially hostile content from mail destined for my users. http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
