Unfortunately, I have been trying to get going with some simple tools like grepmail and mail and I can't find an answer to a simple question I have. How are these tools configured? It seems like grepmail looks in mailbox directories already saved in your filesystem, instead of there being some

Thanks. There is a lot of good stuff here to look into. I think I will try with grepmail first. I was wondering what the simplest way to send an email might be - the mentioned "mail" unix utility, perhaps? Thanks very much, Julius On Tue, Jul 6, 2021, 19:33 Jon LaBadie wrote: > On Tue, Jul

2021-07-05 Thread Julius Hamilton
