Hi, I JUST finished setting up mail using fetchmail/procmail/exim4/mutt.
What a pain! I found this website very helpful:
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~lativyn/articles/debian-mutt/
If found all of the other articles i came across were too complicated to
just get things working on a single user PC.
Now that I have it working i'm glad i spent the time on it.
