Abstract

If you receive more than a few email messages a day, you've probably discovered that it becomes increasingly difficult to sort and prioritize your email. Messages you want to read immediately can get lost in a sea of less-important messages. Worse, your inbox can become cluttered with spam, virus-infected messages, and other disagreeables. Fortunately, the procmail program has been designed to help you sort through this mess.

By creating your own customized "recipes," you can organize the messages you do want to receive and deal with the messages you don't want to receive.
