PMDIR=~/procmail # LOGFILE should be specified ASAP so everything below it is logged # Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended) LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog # To insert a blank line between each message's log entry, # uncomment next two lines (this is helpful for debugging) LOG=" " # Set to yes when debugging; default is no ## VERBOSE=yes # Replace $HOME/Msgs with your mailbox directory # Mutt and elm use $HOME/Mail # Pine uses $HOME/mail # Netscape Messenger uses $HOME/nsmail # Some NNTP clients, such as slrn & nn, use $HOME/News # Mailboxes in maildir format are often put in $HOME/Maildir # # IMPORTANT: Upon reading an instruction that contains MAILDIR=, # Procmail does a chdir to $MAILDIR and # relative paths are relative to $MAILDIR MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail # Make sure this directory exists! INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/nkvir-rc INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/kuhn-rc INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/slooten-rc where kuhn-rc is: # It is reliably reported that this single test may kill half your # spam in one shot: :0 * !^Message-Id { :0 /dev/null } and slooten-rc is: :0 * ^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] { :0 /dev/null } what I was never clear on is the MAILDIR. Is that to tell procmail where to look at new mail to process it? I've obviously assumed so, from what I've put there...but then in the nkvir-rc, it refers to MAILDIR being ~/mail. Should I have two entries in there? BTW, why does that kuhn-rc "kill half your spam in one shot"? -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A man said to the Universe: "Sir, I exist!"
