Maybe an example will help... Here, fetchmail connects to ISP's mail
server over dynamic ip, gets mail, passes it to sendmail, which hands it
over to procmail. Here are the lines out of my .procmailrc which puts
all mail from this list into it's own folder:
:0:
* ^TOdebian-user
mail/debian-user
This tells procmail that all messages with "debian-user" in the To:
field should be put in the file `mail/debian-user'. Then I start pine,
switch to my debian-user folder and read the mail. BTW, if procmail
finds that the file (mail/debian-user) doesn't exist, it is created.
HTH,
Jeremy
