- Procmail. I used procmail before I got elm up and running on my system, so
- I never used filter. It appears that procmail does everything elm's filter
- does, plus it supports regular expressions.
-
- Procmail was recently posted to comp.sources.unix and is available for
- anonymous ftp on ftp.uu.net (and wuarchive.wustl.edu, and probably lots of
- others) in usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume31/procmail. Files are part01.Z
- to part05.Z. Incidentally, it can also be used as the local mail delivery
- agent.
