Should there really be a system that does not have procmail?
Which is.....?
Procmail is a pretty powerful mail filtering program: you've probably got it on your RedHat box. On SuSE I think it handles all the emails that the system sends to root.
The man page is, well, standard indigestible but does say:
"There exists an excellent newbie FAQ about mailfilters (and procmail in particular), it is being maintained by Nancy McGough nancym@ii.com and can be obtained by send ing a mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the following in the body: send usenet/news.answers/mail/filtering-faq"
so I sent off for it. You never know.......
