but after a few lines, those procmail recipes look too much
like romulan for me. exim's filters (~/.forward) to the rescue:

	# Exim filter

	logfile $home/.forward.log 0600
	# ... so i can still "mailstat ~/.forward.log"

	if error_message
	then
		save Mail/error
		logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n  Folder: error				  $message_size"
		finish
	endif

	# --------------
	# paypal payment

	if	$return_path contains "payment@paypal.com"
	then
		save Mail/paypal
		logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n  Folder: paypal				  $message_size"
		finish
	endif

	# --------------------
	# checking system logs

	if	foranyaddress $h_to:,$h_cc: (${local_part:$thisaddress} is "root")
	then
		save Mail/root
		logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n  Folder: root				  $message_size"
		finish
	endif

	# --------------------

	#X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/151892
	if $h_X-Mailing-List matches "^<debian-(.*)@lists\\\\.debian\\\\.org>"
	then
		save Mail/debian-${lc:$1}
		logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n  Folder: debian-${lc:$1}				  $message_size"
		finish
	endif

	# ------------

	save Mail/JUNK-O-RAMA
	logwrite "From $return_path $tod_log\n Subject: $h_subject:\n  Folder: JUNK-O-RAMA				  $message_size"

the main snafu here is all the extra "\\\\" involved in the
bizarre quoting mechanismo...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #27 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Would you like RXVT to have more than 80 COLUMNS OR 24 ROWS? For an
rxvt session, running under X, specify how many rows and columns
you want:
	rxvt -g 132x30 &
Try "man rxvt" for more info.
