More information about your workstation is really necessary - as indicated

is a windows box)?

Oh... hope not :)

My workstation is SuSE Linux 7.0.  I do understand that I will need to
use fetchmail to get mail in the first place.  I know what to do with
that.  It's just a simple basic ruleset for forwarding to my
workstation with procmail that I don't understand. I look forward to
being able to write recipes for autoreplies and dropping spam into a
large black hole from where it never returns :))

I've read man procmail, procmailrc, procmailsc, procmailex.  Not much
of it makes much sense without some useful help from an experienced
user.  I'm not completely useless.  I have been able to configure
sendmail.  That was a bit like fighting a world war all over again. 
Comments like "why not use - [1] exim [2] postfix [3] others " came to
me from most countries from all over the planet.

I'm sure that procmail is much easier to configure.  Just a case of
getting some help initially.

Please consider trimming the sig.

That is just for public information.  Don't use it normally.  The
traditional greeting can be seen below.

Thank you
