This is where Red Carpet is a big win. I've avoided the Ximian Gnome install because it will play havoc with a future upgrade of Red Hat. When 7.3 came out, the release notes made it clear that an upgrade from 7.2 would probably break if Ximian Gnome packages were in place. So I backed out the few Ximian packages I had before the upgrade, and then reinstalled those I really wanted. If you install Evo using Red Carpet, it will take care of getting exactly the prerequisite Ximian packages you need, and no more. Do you use the Red Hat up2date? Red Carpet is like that, only with more bells and whistles. I use up2date to keep my primary system patched, and then use Red Carpet for all the others. It can also accept a local file repository, not just remote channels, so you can point it to your up2date cache. > On the procmailrc I got John Hardin's Sanitizer with a Fred Morris > Perl-jacket/artless combo and it it really rips through the mail real > nice.... without losing any. Are you just using procmail to run the Sanitizer on mail entering your spool? If so, then Evo works fine with that. Evo just reads from the spool, or reads the spool indirectly via an IMAP or POP3 server if you want to set it up that way. (I've tried all 3. Currently I'm using IMAP to move folder management out of Evo.) If you already have procmail running the Sanitizer, it's not a big leap to add SpamAssassin. I run SA just before the Sanitizer, after procmail has switched to the user's identity to use the user's SA config files. If you're using procmail to deliver locally and filter mail into multiple buckets, you might be best off serving that tree with a local IMAP server and having Evo connect to that. That's another reason I want to switch to IMAP. I can use procmail instead of Evo's filters to filter into folders and then serve the folder tree to Evo over IMAP. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
