Re: Programs to Receive and filter mail



The best combination for me is:
fetchmail,procmail,mutt,esmtp
I don't plan to change the match for they are working pretty well with my 
unbuntu-6.06 so far, in fact I've heard that getmail is a nice alternative 
option for fetchmail cos it's more bug-proof though.

cheers
