Ahh, this I don't quite understand. I always donwloaded my mail from a
POP3 server, and then had Netscape sort it into various inboxes.
I thought, that I would now use fetchmail to get my mail from the POP3
server (actually from more than one) and have it all appended to my
mailbox in /var/spool/mail and the MUA would then process it
appropriatly. So where does procmail come into the game?
I guess, I should go read the Networking-Overview-HOWTO and the
Mail-HOWTO, but I still have those various LDP guides on my agenda. :(
