That sounds exactly like what I want to do. I guess I get confused
because I often see procmail and exim mentioned in the same
context...leading me to believe they do the same thing.
So, all I need to add is procmail. Currently, I guess exim sends the
mail to my Maildir...and now I need to tell it to send to procmail
instead. I'll read up on procmail and see how it might fit in.
