I have no .forward files. All procmail scripts. Actually I only have 2 users on the system. Root and a spamassassin user. All of the users are aliases to individual procmail scripts. Gives me the flexability to customise procmails. But I have to use global rules and scores. > This seems to work OK, but I'm not sure it is an efficient > setup.

They will likely do the same with 2.60 (or at least try!)
