attempting to install...

      Files   Procmail   user .forward   user .askrc file
      Install the files int he /ask/ folder   Add lines to the main prommail
file   Add/edit a .forward for each user   have each user edit their
.ask/.askrc file
       AND   OR
      Install the gui files on server   Add lines to individual procmail
file


Above please find a break down of how I understand the intall process to be.
am I correct?
As I am trying to install a base isntallation on the server that will allow
me to quickly install it for each user, i got a little thrown on the paths
in teh procmail entries:

## ASK installation
:0 fW
|/ask/ask.py --procmail --loglevel=5 --logfile=/ask/ask.log

:0 e
/dev/null

## end of ask installation

The last command (logfile=/your_home) appeares to be for a single user
procmail file not a server wide one. I know to edit the paths, but I just
wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing.

It would be good to have to edit the procmail recipe once for the whole
server.
