OK, I assume there was something wrong with my sendmail/procmail setup,
so that all mail went to /var/spool/mail/~ .
The fact remains that I want to filter this email as I would
if it were arriving from outside.
I installed mutt on the new server,
and found that 95% of the messages in /var/spool/mail
were basically locally sent error messages.
But about 40 messages remain.
To repeat my original query:
----------------------------------
Now I'm wondering if there is some way
that I can re-direct the mail in /var/spool/mail/<mymbox>
so that it goes through the system as though it were just arriving?
I mean, so that it gets distributed into the correct folders
under ~/Maildir , as specified in .procmailrc .
Any suggestions gratefully received.
