Of course. In the delivery line, just put the path and filename:
:0:
/home/linda/foo
You can also use the $HOME environment variable to save typing:
:0:
$HOME/foo
or change the default delivery directory with $MAILDIR if you want to
deliver to a bunch of different mboxes in a given directory.
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
# Deliver to $HOME/mail/larry
:0:
* ^TOlarry
larry
# Deliver to $HOME/mail/mo
:0:
* ^TOmo
o
# Deliver to $HOME/mail/curly
:0:
* ^TOurly
curly
The procmailrc and procmailex man pages have a lot of excellent
information in them. The main thing to remember is NOT to use a trailing
slash on the delivery line, or procmail will attempt Maildir delivery,
which is unlikely to be what you want if you're using pine. Ditto for a
leading dot, which is for MH formats.
