> Look - it's dependent on your need and requirement. What I want to do is implement that wunderbar procmail recipe you linked us to, and test it out, eventually I would like to have a mail server up and running so that it: 1. Retrieves the mail from the ISP (fetchmail, precalls mailfilter as 1st line of defense against the viagra, penis enlargement, (definitely not needed ;-)), etc.) 2. Postfix then deposits the mail, I guess, from what others have posted, in appropriate users mailboxes (/var/spoo/mail/[username] 3. Procmail looks at the mail using said recipe and acts as second line of defense against .pif attachments, Nigerian free money scams etc. 4. IMAP package allows clients on LAN to retrieve mail from mailserver using POP. I gave up on this before, but I really think I can do it this time! But I want this to be a *system* service type deal, because I want to learn it as a sysadmin would see it, rather than as an end user, see? -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is only with the heart one can see clearly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. -- The Fox, 'The Little Prince"
