I've used procmail before.
It is imap that is new to me, so I did not realize there was a good tie-in.
Since I do have a bunch of evolution rules, does anyone know of a better
way to configure procmail than simply using vi?
ie. I like vi, but evolution has that really nice "create filter based on
e-mail message" feature where you just say it is a mailing list, and it
does all the pattern matching work for you. I guess I have gotten
spoiled.
