Procmail seems to filter my incoming mail OK and puts them in the appropriate mailboxes. But I am seeing two things that dont seem right. 1. With mutt running, new mail that should be filtered appears to come into my default mailbox (/var/mail/my user name FIRST and then a while later it gets moved to the correct mailbox. Shouldn't the mail go directly to the correct mailbox? 2. While mutt is running I feek seeing the message Mailbox Modified. Flags may be incorrect.. Why is this happening? Sounds like a locking problem to me. I am sure someone else will explain, since procmail and it's use of locks is one of the greatest mysteries on earth (at least to a dummy like me) I will be interested to read the answer. -- Regards Cliff

Do you use it? Looks like switching to something else might greatly help your emotional stability. :) -- FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE 7:47AM up 7 days, 18:25, 19 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.01, 0.00
