What if I decided it didn't make logical sense to me to drive on

Sometimes you have to go with the flow.

Anyway, the purpose of the procmail list is not to look pretty in
forums.  So formatting should be for the procmail list, and not to
look pretty in forums.



 That reasoning is  undestandable. Now I will have to have separate vim 
configurations for separate mailing lists.  I use vim + lynx for posting to 
forums, and so I will need another set for that. I mean, if you have a car that 
is custom built to drive on the left side... I think I will just do without 
driving altogether. :-) 

 Anyway I think it is a bug in procmail. I saw someone complain in usenet too, 
but I couldn't find a resolution. Also he claims the configuration works on one 
machine but not on the other. So there has to be some problem with procmail. I 
changed spamassassin to 'spamc' and it works fine. 
 
 Ok so I think I will just ask one question and go away.  I need to sort the 
spam mails into different mailboxes according to their score..

  Rule:

  If 4 <= spam-score < 5
   mail/mboxes/spam4

  If 5 <= spam-score < 6
   mail/mboxes/spam5

   And so on. That way I can schedule checking these mailboxes accordingly. The 
larger the value, the less frequently you check it - say once a month, and 
remove everything. I think something like this is needed, since the 
spamassassin is not very perfect, and the frigging spammers are now using 
random statements in their mails to confuse the spam blockers.

   Finally the ideal solution for spam is not through software, but through 
hardware. As in, get a gun a shoot those f*cking bastards.

 Thanks.
