You don't say the type of mail system, but I use mbox and the following works for me. formail -ds procmail < [mbox-file] will redeliver your "mbox-file" based of the present procmail rules splitting digest messages. Use only "-d" if you do not want the splitting. formail -ds procmail -m newrules.rc < mbox-file will redeliver based on the rules contained in "newrules.rc". Prepend paths where necessary. I would use duplicate files or work inside a "sandbox" environment for testing first. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
