I like it. I think I'm a little confused about the logic of the exim filter process, though... What I've been using to sort my mail (list-specific inboxes, etc) runs something like this: if (condition) then (seen save some-place) endif if not delivered then if (other-condition) then (seen save some-other-place) endif endif etc. Now, your usage of "seen finish" inside an if-then statement seems to imply that if I slap "finish" (or "seen finish") on the end of each delivery action, I won't need to do the "if not delivered" test at the beginning of each condition... ie, as soon as it finds a rule that matches, it'll do the delivery, and then "finish" will tell exim to NOT look for any further matches, just forget this message and start processing the next one... Is that correct? (Sorry if this is in the docs... exim's docs are plenty comprehensive, but I have a helluvatime finding answers in there.) > :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) 'HAND'?
