I am assuming I should make this entry in my .procmailrc? And where should I put the .procmailrc entry? In my root dir? or my majordomo dir? I hate to sound stupid but I have never had this problem before. Could I ask what your procmail entry looked like? I really appreciate this and your help. I am also gonna print out 3.6 of the faq.
