Where can I go for a reasonable user's guide for procmail?
Thx Attila
There is a book "The Procmail Companion" by Martin McCarthy.
However, follow this steps (keep the order):
1> Read the egrep man page - you must feel familiar with it.
2> Scan and browse the man pages. But, do NOT "read it" (also, skip
on the procmailsc man page).
3> Go to NMTG web site: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/
It is very clear and easy to read! She will lead you to yours first
working rcfile and recipes.
4> Back to the procmailex man page and READ - examine the flags against
the procmailrc man.
5> Sean B. Straw (Professional) has good site with a little glossary
for acronyms that you MUST know if you read this mailinglist and FAQ.
http://www.professional.org/procmail/disclaimer.html Also, see his
sendbox which explain and build a test environment to check rcfiles!
http://www.professional.org/procmail/sandbox.html
6> Read the FAQ.
7> Read the procmailsc man page.
Don't panic! After step #3 you will be able to keep your
head on the water (;-)
