Anne, I know you are not a newby. But your question was sort of vague
and seemed to betray a failure to perform some basic troubleshooting
101 steps, "man procmail" is one. (There IS a lot to read there in the
various files. But learning the basics of how procmail works is going
to be step one for a lasting good solution. This is hard for ancient
bitches like me but I persevere. Having learned is a nice feeling. The
distressing part is how fast it all dribbles away these days.)
