Yes. rm0maildir is also not completely safe - it uses rmdir, so cannot remove a directory with something in it, but it could break a delivery (procmail: "folder exists - I don't need to create it", rm0maildir: "remove empty folder", procmail: "try to make file in folder/tmp - it's not there!"). -- Cameron Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ The Force.
