Use formail to split the spool into the one-by-one messages that procmail expects: cat /var/spool/username | formail -s procmail After you're sure it worked you can empty the mail spool: cat /dev/null > /var/spool/username or copy it somewhere for safe keeping then empty it: cat /var/spool/username | gzip - >> ~/mail_archive.gz cat /dev/null > /var/spool/username Tony -- Anthony E.
