Re: using filter
Shaya -
I hate to badmouth, (can that be used intransitively?) but, since the
mail filtering faq's been mentioned, I'll quote it on the topic of
filter:
"IMPORTANT NOTE
==============
If your system has both procmail and filter installed then you should
use procmail which is *much* more robust and powerful than filter. This
recommendation is almost universal; even the developers of Elm and
Filter recommend procmail over filter. IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE MAIL
MESSAGES WHEN USING FILTER; this is rare but it has happened."
I'm not sure why they leave filter out there, then, but...
If you've already assessed this situation, then excuse me.
