  Changing your procmail recipe's match line to

* ^TOgnhlug@.*zk3.dec.com

will solve this problem nicely.  :-)

  That is a good idea.

  Another thing to be aware of is: Red Hat-style "ifcfg-" scripts do not
have to be named after their interfaces.  The "DEVICE" variable determines
which network interface is actually used.  So you can have "ifcfg-home"  
and "ifcfg-dhcp" or whatever.  Set them both to "ONBOOT=no", and you can
just login and issue "ifup dhcp" or "ifup home" as needed.  You can also do
this for dial-up links.  Name the files "ifcfg-ppp-foo", where "foo"  
describes the connection.  Then you can do "ifup ppp-foo" and "ifup ppp-bar"  
to switch numbers, providers, whatever.

  One of the things I like best about Red Hat is the flexibility and power
of their network control scripts.
