I agree that that folder is "strange." (Never noticed it, but it is in the log file.) I also don't know how it got there. I should have specified that the above came from the system /etc/procmailrc output. All recipes seem to work OK. Here is the /etc/procmailrc file: SHELL=/usr/bin/sh LOGFILE=/tmp/procmail.log VERBOSE=yes LOGABSTRACT=all :0: * ^TO_.chemteach !chemteach # Mark's stuff :0: * ^TO_.mark !mark :0: * ^TO_.redhat !mark #Merri's stuff :0: * ^TO_.merri !merri :0: * ^TO_.SHAKSPER !merri :0: * ^TO_.laughingcat !laughingcat :0: * ^From:.WriteByMyself !laughingcat :0: * ^From:.whitemoon !laughingcat :0: * ^TO_.flying_angel_now !flying_angel_now :0: * ^TO_.troop184 !troop184news #send root's mail to root :0: * ^TO_.root !root :0: * ^TO_.dan !dan # anything else just gets dumped to mark for now. :0: * ^Subject:.* !mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
