I have the following in my .mailfilter file (this is outside of any specific filtering rule): logfile "Mail/maildrop.log" I can't see anything else anywhere in the maildrop docs that might affect the way the logfile is handled. According to the manpage, if the logfile already exists, it should be appended to, but this isn't what's happening. Clues, anyone? -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
