It has new features, when properly : tweaked, that will do this. I have some m4 hacks I can send : if desired. You can also go at it through the MUA using procmail, which, depending on your application is more flexible and easier, but puts a greater load on the system. I just looked, and BSDI doesn't come with procmail, but you can easily install it. BSDI does come with filter which will also allow you to do filtering at the MUA level. You can check the man page on filter for more information about that. Arjun
