My current setup is as follows. 1) Email arrives into port 25 of my ESVA spam filter system (http://www.global-domination.org). 2) Allowed emails are sent to port 25 of my ubuntu system. 3) Procmail filters the emails and puts them in ~/Mail/file-name 4) Other mail goes into /var/mail/chris I had a quick go at getting gnus to work by entering the following into ~/.gnus ,---- | ----- gnus settings | (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "")) | | (setq nnmail-spool-file '( | (file :path "/var/mail/chris") | )) `---- I could not see any mail in gnus but it dissapeared from /var/mail/chris Any tips would be useful to get me started plus in there a way to leave mail in /var/mail/chris while I am learing gnus? Also there seem to be many ways to store the mail! Is any method best? Finally I have found people running a local IMAP server to access mail. Is this a good way to do it?
