You have mail in /var/spool/mail/paul [paul:~]$ Ok, I have just checked and it seems that a line like this one: |/usr/bin/procmail is enough for the ~/.forward file when using smail. Probably this is all you need at this point. I don't have a mbox - it gives me an error Well, the cat mbox | formail -s procmail trick was just a way of speaking! You have to replace mbox with the name of the file you want to refilter. when i tried cat /var/spool/mail/paul | formail -s procmail it did sort it but it was trying to resend stuff again my inbox said there was 7500 messages only 3 messages but they repeated to make the 7500. So you learned the hard way it is a bad idea to refilter your inbox in place. I'm sorry, perhaps I should have been more clear. Remember not to refilter your /var/spool/mail/paul file in this way. Next time you can do: * cp /var/spool/mail/paul ~/tobefilteredagain * remove /var/spool/mail/paul either by using your favourite mail reader or with the help of the user root. * cat ~/tobefilteredagain | formail -s procmail But it did sort it to the right mail boxes any ideas? Then the .procmailrc file is ok and the ~/.forward file is probably the last step. Good luck. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNX6sRCqK7IlOjMLFAQGA8gP9HAxKxqEeUKRM/RqQBKXPnaF2BfsZYzJG smtNA5Axob3/NRdWz45ew4t2IHVTbuXCJ8hjxE/V7BBgos1/otbH8pDlvpGYjJtV Ej1d2/0xkptyqWN92JydBzG8cT7JdPvMUOP4i3bd51St4RGtS5RptdXqd6pIUTO+ +dtxPxYTDas= =7fEm -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: procmail woes
hello Santiago, I did as you suggested mv .procmailrc to .procmailrc.not.yet and i still get mail delivered to my main mail box. Just a side not when i had the .procmailrc file i did have the Mail directory and still i got mail delivered to my main mail box or inbox. Do you know of any solution that I can use to make procmail, smail and pine work? Thanks again for your suggestion.
