I have full access to one server (it's a Red Hat enterprise
installation). I assume procmail is installed. The other server is
"shared" (also Red Hat enterprise), and I have no idea at this point
what I'm allowed to do (my web site needs are simple). So I will have
to look into that.
I appreciate the examples. I have Mandrake Linux on my personal and
office systems. I intend to experiment there before going "live."
Thanks, Dan, for your reply.
