sendmail delivers mail into procmail.
I believe procmail is short for processing mail. With
procmail you can have yourself paged, have your computer run
a program, etc when a message qualifies for a certain ruleset.
Thing is, it takes some work to understand and configure. I
second Harry's suggestion regarding the faq.
BTW, I believe Jason's flood of the list was unintentional.
I already said something to that effect, but I think excluding
him from the list would be a loss.
If anything, we probably ought to take a look at making a digest
version of the list available too.
