If it hasn't already ocurred to you, you might want to experiment with this
first on an isolated host.  If you're on a host with live users, and
tweaking /etc/procmailrc, you're potentially interfering with REAL
email.  That'a a bad place to learn, even if it's only YOUR email.

    Yes, I am creating this on a unused server :)  Fer sure!


For instance, for learning purposes, /dev/null is better replaced with a
mailbox of some nature that you can retrieve messages from (though on a
systemwide procmailrc, that might be a trick, since envelope data may not
be included - even so, it's better than NOTHING at all).

     Yes, good idea.

     Thanks Sean
