Hm; looking further at that and at the synopsis in the beginning of the manpage, it seems to me that you can specify your .procmailrc on the command line, so that the "If" condition is not met (i.e., an rcfile is specified, so the /etc/procmailrc is not read first). >> >This is my .forward >> >---- >> >"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f $p&&exec $p >> -Yf-||exit 75 >> >#thowe" This would then be "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail $HOME/.procmailrc ||exit 75 #thowe" You lose some of the rewrite code, but i believe you can put it into the .procmailrc file; or you could experiment with gradually adding it back. -- "If my son wants to be a pimp when he grows up, that's fine with me.
