The problem with Procmail as the local delivery agent is that it defeats any advantage(s) of smrsh...it becomes possible for any user with a .procmailrc file to run programs that they wouldn't have been able to with a .forward/smrsh combo. -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.
