Procmail is the most common solution for this, as it works with most mailers. It's the best choice if you expect lots of help from other users. However, qmail (a sendmail replacement) provides the ability to sort mail into mailboxes without procmail's help. I believe you can do anything procmail can do with it, but for complex things, procmail is simpler. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
