Holdover from the days when: fetchmail retrieved the POP mail, then passed it off to... qmail which processed the mail, which handed it off to... procmail for sorting and filtering, which also called... spamprobe for Bayesian spam filtering, and in the end... pine read the email These days I just use Thunderbird and life is much simpler. -- -Mike Melanson -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
