Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had *any* problems with procmail that weren't operator error (like moving the binary and not updating my .forward, creating bogus .procmailrc files). > For what it's worth, I'm running 2.1R and procmail v3.10. I was running 3.10 for quite a while, but upgraded to a newer version earlier this year. procmail v3.11pre3 However, I know that many other people who use procmail also have had problems. I guess I'm just lucky! Nate
