IT WORKED! Your simple configuration files were more effective in helping me set up one of the most useful things Linux has to offer! Now I've got fetchmail grabbing my mail, throwing it to prcomail, which pipes it through spamassassin (and razor somehow) and drops it into ~/Maildir which courier reads. All this without touching a file in /etc ! I will write a HOW-TO as I promised, but first there a few more small thing to sort out.
I have a reply-path and sender field attached by exim to all my outgoing mail. Kinda annoying, dont want that, its useless, and might be harmful in the future. In fact this message probably has it too. How do I remove that? I've got mail coming in from several accounts, and not all have their own folders (so I cant set folder reply/compose defaults). How do I get sylpheed, or mutt, or anything to use the To address as the from address? I understand this might be application specific. Also, I know there's a way to keep copies of all recieved mail in one folder using procmail. Anyone know what lines I need to add to procmailrc for this? Thanks a lot! Naitik.
