Peter,

You have no idea how much I appreciate this posting.  I installed procmail
last night, but couldn't find any reliable information on how to integrate
it into my sendmail system.  This is most helpful.  Just out of curiosity,
would you know how difficult it would be to configure for mbox?  I noticed
that this seems to be what FreeBSD defaults to and I'd like to minimize my
own heartache when getting procmail setup.

Thanks again,
Andy
