Hi Some pointers: 1/ root does not receive mail. all mail for root is redirected to its alias (see /etc/aliases). Check your normal user's mail. 2/ Does $HOME/mail exists? My .procmailrc writes: MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # You'd better make sure it exists (I CC'ed you because I'm not sure of the mailing list @ (I'm suscribed to the digest)) Regards, Charles
