This is what I do and it works fine. You might want to consider a package called
apsfilter. Here is where you can get it.
Unix Platforms, that are able to run apsfilter flawlessly
=========================================================
- FreeBSD 1.1.5.1
- SUN SPARCSTATIONS, Solaris 1.1.1 (SunOS4)
- some (not all) Linux Distributions
Slackware V 1.1
Slackware 2.0.0 (problems with permissions in spooldir)
LST-1.8 (minor problem, incomplete /etc/magic file)
- and surely all commercial Unix Systems,
that run a BSD 4.X operating system
==========================================================
These are the sites, where apsfilter versions can be found
==========================================================
(1) This ftp server will also contain beta releases if we are
currently on the way to a new release
ftp server: ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
directory : pub/Linux/local/packages/APS
(2) Here we'll put only final releases
ftp server : ftp.Germany.EU.net
directory : pub/os/Linux/Local.EUnet/People/akl
directory : pub/os/Linux/Incoming.EUnet
ftp the newest release from there. The current naming scheme for
apsfilter releases is: aps-Release.tgz
Beta versions contain the letter B in the version number and
have mostly a number with three digits.
