Hi Anne, Procmail should be able to do this nicely for you. Even if you're pulling your mail down from your ISP's mailserver. In order to employ procmail to filter, you'd simply using Fetchmail to bring the messages down. They'd then be deposited in /var/spool/mail/$USER. That should work nicely. While I don't know any procmail recipes off the top of my head the accomplish this I know Procmail will can can do it. -- Mark "If necessity is the mother of invention, then who's the father?" ----------------------------------------------------------- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by Mandrake Linux 8.2 & 9.1 ICQ# 27816299
