Then, how do I get this to work? Say I put a .procmailrc in my home directory and another one in my wifes. The point of this is to filter the mail headers so that mail addressed to me goes to my mailbox and mail addressed to my wife goes to hers (we have different addresses that get forwarded to the same email account at my ISP). Now, say I log in. I have a .procmailrc in my home directory, so Linux invokes procmail. My recipe tries to move mail addressed to my wife into her home directory.
