Richard, Kindly explain how not knowing procmail (or Unix for that matter) relates to configuring BGP/OSPF/Cisco IOS/JunOS (Yes I know JunOS is based on FreeBSD - but I doubt anyone runs an MTA or MUA on it ... ;-) For Example: I happen to know a senior technical consultant who went from reading his Email on VM(IBM Mainframe) to reading it on his laptop with Eudora(POP3) and couldn't(shouldn't?) care less whether what OS the MTA and POP3 server run on Said person happens to be (semi)regular poster on NANOG and I seriously doubt he's made anyone's kill rule ... Also don't even get me started on *security* consultants that are forced (by corporate policy) to read Email on MS OutLook from an Exchange server :-( -- Rafi ## On 2002-06-05 15:54 -0400 Richard A Steenbergen typed: RAS> RAS> On Wed, Jun 05, 2002 at 09:50:17PM +0300, Rafi Sadowsky wrote: RAS> > RAS> > ## On 2002-06-05 04:45 -0700 Randy Bush typed: RAS> > RAS> > RB> :0 Wh: msgid.lock RAS> > RB> | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache RAS> > RAS> > Randy, RAS> > RAS> > Are you sure that: RAS> > RAS> > 1) All NANOG subscribers recognize the above as a procmail rule ?
