Udi,
Your extended answer is most fantastic; I commend you on taking the
time
to further explain what you had sent previously. I must also thank you
for the additional information as to which documentation that I should
look into first.
You are a credit to this mailing list.
I have to add that my eventual goal is to use Procmail to process and
use a virus-scanner as well. I just need to know how to get all of that
done before taking the leap.
Regards,
Robert Adkins

I am also considering staying away from Procmail as the help

What kind of help and assistance is that?
I'll explain the answer that I sent you:
1) :0 fhw
2) * ^TOprocmail
3) | sed 's/^Subject: /& [procmail]/'
1) :0 start recipe (rule)
f We are going to change the the message
h The part we are going to change is the header
w Take the consequences (wait, is every thing done?
OK?)
2) * If you find the follow string then do the changes
^TO The string we are looking for is one of the
addressed
procmail The string we are looking for
3) | Use the following command to change the header
sed .... Change the string "Subject" to be "Subject
[procmail]"
Enough of that though, I will be getting into reading over the
man
pages, *rc files and other pieces of Procmail soon, hopefully it will
all
begin to make some sense.
I suggest you to scan and browse the man pages NOT read (and skip the
procmailsc man page). Read the egrep man page then go to NMTG web
site: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ After this
steps back to the procmailex man page. After some experiments and FAQ
reading you can read the man pages (including the procmailsc (:-))
Since then we have used procmail to run antivirus on the unix mail
server we saved a lot of money/time and the users breathe a sigh of
relief.
Bye,
Udi
