I tried to set up an elm filter with the following filter-rules file in my .elm directory: if (subject contains "stuffidontwant") then delete When I type filter -r which should list the current elm filter rules I get: Rule 1: if (subject = "stuffidontwant") then Delete which seems ok. I also have a .forward file in my home directory which contains: "| /usr/local/bin/filter -vo ~/junk " Now the problems begin. When I test this setup by sending myself messages with subfect line = stuffidontwant, lo and behold these messages are deleted. Unfortunately so are ALL OTHER MESSAGES. When this sim[ple rule is in effect apparently no mail gets thru. Any ideas what's up? Please email any responses since I don't read this group regularly. Thanks.
