<P>In this chapter i'm just going to put myself safe for any damages and
|
|
flames - since even *I* could be wrong ... If you got any questions or
|
|
suggestions to add to this faq, even if you find any faults - there is a
|
|
feedback section in it ...
|
|
<P>Some "need to know" point is, all filenames & files/types are indicated
|
|
with the line:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<CODE>(*** < file > *** text ***) .procmailrc</CODE>
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>This means, this is a file, called ".procmailrc" containing text. The text
|
|
variable can also be code. It shows you what name of file to use. Without
|
|
a path means it can be variable/choosen by you (in the most cases this
|
|
files resists in the homedirectory of the mail"user" like /home/mailer).

<P>I'm using Linux 2.0.30, Pentium-166, ATI pci-mach64 card, Accelerated-X
|
|
(Metro) and a connection to my isp (currently ibmnet) via ppp using a ZyXEL
|
|
28k8 modem, and occasionally a Bausch 28k8.

<P>Now i upgraded to Linux 2.0.33, installed a USRobotics modem, it still
|
|
works as it should work :) (everybody should upgrade their linux versions
|

|
time & seeking for errors when doing this one :)
