But do you have any solutions to correct this problem ?
Do I always have to redirect new mails first to the system mailbox, then 
to the concerned one ?

Do you see any other elegant solutions ?
Because I think I will perhaps have new mail always duplicated ...

I think I'm NOT the only one to use Solaris/OpenWindows with procmail ...

Can you also redirect my mail to the procmail mailing list, since I'm not 
allowed
at my site to subscribe to mailing lists ?

Thanks in advance ...

Philippe.
