POP3 - procmail?
Until I can get another shell account up and running, I am trying mutt on my Mac OS X machine to get my mail via POP. I tried it and was hoping the incoming mail would go through procmail, but it all came into the spool folder. Unless it should, and something here is misconfigured, is there a way to get it to do this? Right now I am running the spool folder through formail -s, as I saw in a procmail faq. I hope this works, as it is taking forever (huge spool folder) and is increasing in size as it's running. I couldn't find any more info on this. Thanks. -Ken ps: sorry if the email formatting is weird. I am using the Apple Mail while I sort this out.

Or getmail -- and unlike procmail, it doesn't expect to re-inject via SMTP by default. Link in .sig below.

Well, SMTP is the default for procmail (being at its core a tool to transfer email from one mail system to another), but you can just delivery direct to procmail, bypassing the local mail system entirely. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Windows NT crashed.
