Thank you for the fast reply, But I need somethig a little bit more complicated: I want to ensure the a whole .procmailrc execution will be completed before a next begins. I am trying to do a small experiment : In my .procmailrc I call to 3 different spamfilter, and then I write the results to a file. there for I must ensure execution completion before another execution begin. Does anyone know how can I do it? Thank you, Asi
