Re: exit 0 and not write anything to stderr possible?

    Hello again,
    
    I found a way of fix this:
    
    [getmail config]
    postmaster = "|/usr/local/bin/procmail -d user 2>/dev/null"    
    
    It is secure to redirect procmail stderr to /dev/null? Can I get 
    troubles with this?
    
    Thanks,
    
                Nuno Teixeira
