There are three procmail man pages:

procmail, which gives the overview

procmailrc, which tells you how to set up the .procmailrc file

procmailex, which gives you basic examples of various user
configurations

The last seems to be the one I use most.  Since it's been a while
since I set it up, I'd have to look there to tell you anything, and
you can do that just as well as I, right?  Assuming of course that
you've done all your homework all these years, and paid attention in
class, and labored over every tedious assignment.  Because if some ed
school b.a. with a minor in political correctness thinks you oughta do
it then you damn well oughta do it, right?

Umm, did  I get off topic?

sorry,

P.S. Is it my imagination, or is it still just like it was when I was
a kid?  i.e. the girl is the only one who does all the assignments.
