AFAIK it is said that the indexing doesn't work - therefor I > never used procmail. I think you meant "locking" instead of "indexing." I use procmail locking to keep multiple copies of rcvstore from stepping on each other and rely on rcvstore to keep from stepping on invocations of MH from the command line. For example: :0 w: mh-e$LOCKEXT * ^From mh-e-(announce|devel|users)-admin@lists.sourceforge.net | bwrcvstore -create +lists/mh-e If it isn't "perfect", it's good enough. I haven't noticed any mail getting clobbered in the nearly 20 years I've been using this. I've attached the bwrcvstore script. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/x-not-regular-file Content-Disposition: inline; filename=bwrcvstore #! /bin/sh # $Id: bwrcvstore 6181 2003-08-09 00:59:12Z wohler $ # Accepts a message on standard input and passes it through rcvstore # after first passing it through any pre-filters.
