You have to build econv.c in your cygwin install. This should work : $ gcc -o econv econv.c This one will help you if 1) you have perl installed 2) flock() is supported by perl on Win32 : http://www.xmailserver.org/mboxsend.pl Then you should create a script that cat the message file through econv and mboxsend.pl : cat $1 | econv --mbox | mboxsend.pl PATH-OF-YOUR-MBOX-FILE And then run this script from inside your mailproc.tab I gave you traces now you should figure out how to glue this together. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
