Hi everyone,

New to the group and to procmail.

Welcome to real mail filtering. Now if you wouldn't mind too much, we
generally prefer if you DON'T pgp sign mail to this list, and dropping the
excessivly long signature file would probably be appreciated as well.
Thanks.

Now if someone could tell me how to use procmail to parse my existing
/var/spool/mail/user file through my .procmailrc rules so I can trim down
the size of the my INBOX life would be better 8-)

kind regards

# mv /var/spool/user ~/oldspool; touch /var/spool/mail/user
# formail -s procmail < ~/oldspool

If everything goes where you want it, you can delete ~/oldspool when you're
done.
