No harm in asking. I simply haven't been able to find ~clear~ instructions
on how to use 'getmail' and 'procmail' together. The website for 'getmail'
mentions the insertion of a command in the config file, but neglects to
instruct the user where the command should be placed. Getmail is working
great for getting my mail, I want to pre-sort it though.
Thanks for asking. Any ideas on how to make the two (g/p) work?
