I am editing the .procmailrc file on the domain hosters computer - the one
that is used for all mail that goes to my domain. I can get it to delete files
and had it working. Problem is that if I edit it (add a space and delete the
space) and resave it then it no longer works. I suspect that it is the Unix/Win
conversion thing happening.

Also, getting the right "recipes" is not easy.

If I want to I could make up some rules on my computer and have it check
and delete files on the server before they are downloaded. This is a possible
solution but requires me to check mail all the time and if I get a power cut for
a day then I will have 250 MBytes of mail on my 20 Meg limit - thus I will
loose mail.

Chrissy.
