Can anyone suggest > a method for doing this under BSD? well, i haven't tested it, but i know that procmail uses /usr/local/tec/procmailrc as the first stage filter when it's used as the local delivery agent. i am not sure if the environment is set up correctly by the time /usr/local/etc/procmailrc is run through procmail, but you could try putting there something like: DEFAULT=$HOME/.mail and see if the mail goes to the right $HOME for a couple of users. note again, that i haven't tested this, since now i am at work, and i have no freebsd machine near by to test it. hope this works :-) ciao, giorgos.N'rzǧvf&j:+v "ryy 笶*')w* z
