FYI, this how I have things setup and working including a bug fix for MH so it works. There is a bug in an MH routine that makes slocal create mbox format files incorrectly. To fix, make this change to the uip/drobsbr.c file in the MH 6.7 distribution and recompile slocal. This has been reported. 410a411 > write (md, "\n", 1); /* newline between msgs */ Once this is done it is easy. Here is a sample of my .maildelivery file to put selected incoming messages into NeXT Mail mbox files. The default must be there so you don't lose mail. Create the directory structures first. Mail with attachments should be left in the spool file so Mail can undo them properly. # # don't refile NeXT mail Next-Attachment tar > A "/usr/spool/mail/dyker" # Next Managers mailing list To next-managers > A "Mailboxes/lists.nextmgr.mbox/mbox" Cc next-managers > ? "Mailboxes/lists.nextmgr.mbox/mbox" # system stuff # user group # leave everything else in default - > ? "/usr/spool/mail/dyker" Barbara J.
