I think Pine has its own mail filtering built in now, there's always the Netscape filters in its mail app and...my personal favorite plan. Install an MTA (sendmail,postfix,exim,qmail etc.) Install procmail <THE filter for mail> Configure the MTA to use procmail as the MDA, meaning all mail gets passed to procmail for delivery. Then read the manpage/docs for procmail and setup a ~/.procmailrc and filter your lists accordingly. If you go that route you can POP your mail with fetchmail called from a crontab etc. ------------------- > > Hello everybody! > > I'm a real newbie with FreeBSD/Unix and so I've subscribed to several > freebsd mailing lists.
