Re: i hate procmail

[Paul Rushing]

Is there a reason you want to run procmail manually?  Usually procmail 
is used to deliver the mail from the MTA to the mail spool 
($HOME/mailbox) in your example.  So your procmail rules get applied 
when the mail first arrives.

well i guess i simply have to run procmail manually everytime i wanna check my email.  
i figured i just run it like this:
procmail < mailbox
assuming my mail spool is $HOME/mailbox.  well that doesn't work, and furthermore, 
after i did that, and checked my mail via mutt, half my emails were duplicated.
all i want to be able to do is be able to run procmail manually on my mail spool ($HOME/mailbox), move mail that has "test" in the subject to $HOME/Mail/testbox, and leave everything else in $HOME/mailbox.  why am i have having such a hard time?  =(

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cjb]$ cat .procmailrc
DEFAULT=$HOME/mailbox
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
LOG="
"
VERBOSE=yes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cjb]$ cat .procmail/rc.testing
:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
testbox
thanks again for the help...
