[aclug-L] procmail, part 2 of 3

[Jeff <schaller@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's the nitty gritty on procmail. I'll post summary of the
presentation later.  This post has:
. where to get procmail
. where to get more info
. how to (un)subscribe to the list
. examples of setting up a .forward and .procmailrc


####### To get procmail (get 3.11pre7):
ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/

#### links to info, mailing list, faq
http://www.iki.fi/~era/procmail/
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/
ftp://cs.uta.fi/pub/ssjaaa/pm-tips.html
http://mirror.ncsa.uiuc.edu/procmail-faq/
http://www.zer0.org/procmail/

[ This is from the FAQ ]
If you would like to receive the FAQ by electronic mail, send a
message with the words "send mini-faq.txt" (sans quotation marks) in
the Subject: header to the address: era+pr@xxxxxx

If you would like to subscribe to the Procmail mailing list, send a
message containing the word "subscribe" (without the quotes (and
without this parenthetical remark, too :^)) in the Subject: field to
<procmail-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Please spend an
additional second to check the spelling of that single word before you
send off the message.
  To unsubscribe from the list, change "subscribe" to "unsubscribe".
This word seems even harder to spell right than the other one.
