Subject: Delivery Filtering into folders

I would like to know if there is any way to have mail automatically
placed into folders based on the "to"  or "reply to" address.  The purpose is to
have mail from mailing lists automatically placed into the appropriate
folders before I even use Pine.

Thanks,

	Yes, and my goodness this has been asked/answered more than a
few times in the past couple of weeks.

	One of the best (but some claim not the easiest) packages to
use is called "procmail".  It may be installed on your site...it may
not be.  You can ask your sysadmin and/or type "procmail -v" to see
if it is there.  If it is...then also type "man procmail" to see if 
the man pages are available.  If no man pages....well you'd better
get them first before trying to use procmail.

	If you need to pickup the sources they can be found at:

	ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
as (g)zipped tar file:     /pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz
as compressed tar file:    /pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.Z

	There may even be a newsgroup devoted to procmail.  I know there
is a mailing list.

	Regards,

		Ed
