My requirements are probably quite basic, however I have not been able to
glean sufficient information from anything I've read to feel confident about
using procmail. The 'ONLY' immediate need is for deletion of all incoming
email with korean character set ..... no other filtering / sorting whatever
is needed. I guess it must be possible to do this with procmail, however
there are several issues that don't appear to have been addressed
in anything I've found to date. I'll be using procmail initially with one
email account only for debugging purposes ... will consider using it system
wide if / when it proves to be reliable (ie it doesn't require constant
tinkering.)
Can anyone advise what is involved in getting a POP3 client configured to
find it after procmail has finished messing with it ?? In default FreeBSD /
sendmail setup, incoming mail appears to end up in /var/mail/<username> .
Presumably thats where the POP3 clients go looking for it. However if the
procmail filtered mail goes someplace else (like /home/<username>/Mail), how
does one configure a POP3 client to look in a different place from where it
normally expects to find mail ??
Secondly, when procmail is invoked from a /home/<username>/.forward file, as
far as I can tell, only a copy of the incoming email is filtered & the
original still gets delivered. If this is the situation then whats the point
of filtering ?
