ARCHIVED: What is Procmail?
Note: UITS offers no formal support for Procmail. The Procmail man pages are not available on the UITS central Unix systems.
Procmail is a mail processing utility for Unix. With it, you may sort
and filter your email based on rules that you create. It is very
powerful, but for inexperienced users it is also easy to accidentally
misfile or even destroy your mail. For more information, read the
following man
pages: procmail
,
procmailrc
, procmailex
, and
procmailsc
. Also consult the Procmail web page at:
http://www.procmail.org/
For more information on creating filter rules with Procmail, see the following web pages:
