I've written sendmail mailers myself, but >I can't really see any advantage for doing this here. I certainly do that (define slocal as a mailer). Advantages: It allows me to use the "source" and "addr" attributes in my ".maildelivery" file. With the way I have defined the mailer, "source" references the envelope sender, and "addr" references the "detail" part of "loginid+detail". For example, the mail for nmh-workers is addressed to me at "rickert+nmh", and I have that sorted into my nmh folder with the line addr nmh + ? +nmh -NWR _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
