Hello!
I've just started to work with procmail and It's working perfectly...
I have an old mailbox that has lots of mails which I would like to
re-organize with procmail and my new set of rules. I would like procmail
to receive the mailbox and parse it with the rules I've defined.
how can I do it?
formail -s procmail -Y -m /new/procmail/rcfile <inbox
This makes formail split everything from stdin, ie. inbox,
into single messages, and pipe them one by one into procmail.
The -Y option to procmail assumes mailbox format, ie. it ignores
Content-Length: fields.
I found this very slow, though. Last time I used this command,
it took in the order of 1 -- 2 minutes for a smallish, ~100k mailbox,
on a small UltraSparc box.
