here is my global procmailrc

   ----- procmailrc begins -----
VERBOSE=no
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog

:0fw: $HOME/.spamassassin.lock

   ----- procmailrc ends -----

but as you see here i stopped using email pkt on the recieving part, since
it still do not compile here :/

the only program i know can send email like emailpkt is irex, but irex is
shereware, i will register it later if emailpkt still not working for me :/

you can make a simple mail list with virtual host in postfix :)

and that can be used to send a copy to you, so the mail for emailpkt is
atleast not lost, get it ?

why ?

all you need is in emailpkt procmail example file or if you did have a
sharing email account for emailpkt in the .forward file, both procmail and
.forward needs to be setup if its not in your postfix

 DG> Use the configs i pasted earlier.

okay
