You can find links to procmail tutorials from www.procmail.org. If you read mail on a Windows or Mac OS machine, or from a `web mail' kind of client, then your mail client probably has built-in filtering capability. If it doesn't, get one that does. With a mail filter, you can command that, say, all mail to addresses containing `questions@freebsd.org' should be placed in a folder `freebsd-questions'. Good luck, Lucas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
