Hongwei Li was having problems with procmail. For what it's worth, my .procmailrc reads like this: LOGFILE=.procmail.log MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=inbox/ VERBOSE=no :0 * ^Subject:.*is.out.of.the.office $MAILDIR/spam/ (I use maildirs, so there's a / at the end of $MAILDIR/spam/, and maildirs aren't supposed to need locking). It catches test e-mails from Gmail as I'd expect. .procmail.log reads From westexe@xxxxxxxxx Fri Feb 3 21:01:32 2006 Subject: Aaa Bbbb Ccc/Xxxx Yyy/Zzzz Dddd/Eeee is out of the office.
