I personally love procmail: I sort my gentoo-lists out using it

:0
* ^List-Id:.*gentoo\.org
$HOME/mail/gentoo-lists

if you have procmail installed,
man procmailrc
and
man procmailex
are great sources of documentation

I'm looking for a way to sort incoming mail (mail recvd from fetchmail) easily.
Currently, I am using a regular Redhat 8.0 setup and I have written my own mail sorter that uses mbox format mailboxes. I realize that my current situtation isn't very good and I would like to use something a little more mainstream?

I'm working on my gentoo setup and it is nearly done (after days of compiling).
I'm a bit fuzzy on all the aspects of Mail Delivery. It looks like Procmail is good for sorting and filtering mail, but their site doesn't give me a very good idea about how to configure it or sendmail/whatever agent that feeds mail to it..


Should I use sendmail/postfix/qmail? (which). Is Procmail good for sorting mail from mailing lists into different folders? I don't need to do anything terribly fancy...

Could someone give me any advice they have or perhaps a good url for a HOWTO?

Thanks
