install
whatever crap these scripts need to do their job. see below.

i was thinking about writing one in awk. real awk, not gawk, so it'll work
on
any system at all, and not need other cruft added. we'll see how it goes,
it's been quite some time since i've last written anything in awk.

huh, that's not right. i wonder what would cause that? how do you have it
setup? i have (running Solaris, not FC2) postfix directly use procmail as
the mailbox delivery agent, which may or may not be more efficient than
calling procmail from .forward
something to look into anyway. ;)
