Jason,

    sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, basically too busy :(

    I've just started to setup for multiple users and fell at the very first
step!  The README says to
cd ~system.  My problem is that, no matter who I login in as cd ~system
takes me to that users home directory.

    Obviously there is no directory /home/system, so I created it and set
the ownerships to SYSTEM.SYSTEM but cd ~SYSTEM (or ~system) still doesn't
work.  Also cd ~jgeorge does work!

    Help me please.

Jim

> New News:
> === ====
> I have updated the version of procmail to 3.22-7.  The tarballs should
> be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.

> The following are the changes since the previous version:
>
>     o define the root UID to be 18 so that procmail will attempt to
>       setuid when running under the LocalSystem account
>
>     o open run control files in text mode so they are parsed correctly
>       on binary mode mounts

> Old News:
> === ====
> The procmail program is used by Red Hat Linux for all local mail
> delivery. In addition to just delivering mail, procmail can be used
> for automatic filtering, presorting, and other mail handling jobs.
> Procmail is also the basis for the SmartList mailing list processor.

> See the procmail home page for more details:
