- He says procmail is more robust than mhook is, i say that mhook i s
- more configuarble, and my scripts do everything his program does. I think
- what it comes down to is, do you want a program that does it all for you
- or that you can write simple additions to?
-
- Anyway, my friends and i have given both mhook and procmail some
- truly intensive workloads...some weeks, we send as much as 3000 pieces of
- mail between six friends, and *grin* procmail bogs down more often than
- mhook does. However, both are darn stable...

- If you're really interested in it, i suggest mailing smiley@uiuc.edu and
- ask him. He's written some interesting stuff for it.
