Calvin,
Thanks for the response.
I abandoned the script idea - I decided I didn't need the practice that much
:o/ - and installed procmail, which took all of 30 minutes and keeps all the
processing on the one server. Procmail provides mail filtering and also
brings security benefits over the standard mail program.
Best regards,
Vince
