Yep, sure do...
Firstly, exmh, although a nice piece of software, doesn't actually do
the filtering -- it uses the 'slocal' program which is part of MH.
Nothing wrong with that, but some users seem to want their mail client
to do the filtering.
Personally, I've used both slocal and procmail, with procmail being my
current setup (its rules can be more complex). Procmail can store into
an MH folder directly; that is, without _having_ to use rcvstore.
However, I use rcvstore so that I can update the unseen sequence.
Both procmail and slocal need to be called from a POP3 client; in my
case, fetchmail. If you've got sendmail/exim/qmail/postfix/etc...
configured to receive your mail straight from your MX forwarder, then
you need the '.forward'-file mechanism described in the O'Reilly
MH book.
Anyway, here's an example setup: my .fetchmailrc, .procmailrc and
.maildelivery (for slocal) files. .maildelivery is alot cleaner, but
like I said, procmail is more flexible.
