 Nothing in particular - though I use it with sendmail 8.11.1 - where it plugs
 in out of the box
 
 RTFM at http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail for more.

I had problems getting procmail to work about 6months ago and gave up on it.  Does it
require I particular style of email setup? I use mutt with getmail and ssmtp.

hand.

 As you are running a unix box you can surely use procmail locally - or add
 them to the access.db of _your_ workstation's sendmail, right?

 Anyway most nt servers _do_ have spamfilters and such, afaik.

Your quoting is screwed up.  Try

score '~f terra.com.br' -

instead.  (Note that the last single quote character has moved.)

Unfortunatly, not an option.  Our email system was recently "improved" by
moving it from a Linux box to an NT box.  I'm just happy that it hasn't been
further improved by moving it to Win2000.

In any event, I'm not in a position to make changes upstream of my own
mailbox.

Block terra.com.br either at your mailserver or using procmail
