Okay, I have one more filter question. I have all my "rules" set up but I am now having trouble getting filter to work. It seems to be expecting input from stdin. How do I actually get filter to work (after I have logged off and while I am on)?

Assuming your MTA is sendmail, just put this in your .forward file in your login directory: "|/usr/local/bin/filter" (changing the path to it as appropriate) -- Brendan Kehoe - Widener Sun Network Manager - brendan@cs.widener.edu Widener University in Chester, PA A Bloody Sun-Dec War Zone "Ya know, kitten tacos are really better than anything you've ever tasted before!"

My biff stopped working when I starting using filter, I assume due to the preesence of the .forward file. Is there anyway to get my biff back. I tried using newmail giving it the name of the file to which my filter rule saves some messages. That too doesn't seem to work.. Can someone help me.. or the only solution is to take off the filter.. thanks.. pravin -- This program posts news to billions of machines throughout the galaxy.
