Yes please, or can you tell me what's wrong with the .procmailrc I've made. Although it puts the stuff from -chat in /var/mail/chat and -questions in /var/mailquestions etc. it also puts a copy in /var/mail/mark, not what I want. I deally, if something is To:'d or Cc:'d to more than one maillist I want copy in each lists mailbox, but only none freebsd.org addressed mail to go in my personal box.
This is my .procmailrc:
# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=/var/mail
DEFAULT=/var/mail/mark
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
SHELL=/bin/sh
