Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to make the permissions on the mail file
to
be 0600. It seems that procmail by default sets the value of group ownership
to
mail and permissions to 0660. I would like to change this if possible.
Thanks,

(Another novel concept is Lucent's Personalized Web Assistant
<http://lpwa.com:8000> and then of course there are those "can't be
spammed" address forwarding services such as www.savemail.com or
www.junkproof.com.)

If you already have an alias set up for you, you can have all list
mail directed to the alias and let it have its own procmailrc.
Make its DEFAULT mailbox be a "spillover list messages" mailbox and
let it handle all your mailing list filtering. That way, you don't
have to rely on Received: lines. And like I said in private, if
Procmail is your LDA, you can have the "plussed" part handed over to
Procmail for 100% safe delivery, totally obviating the need for you to
separately figure out each and every list you subscribe to.
