Re: Procmail setup question

I will set up a throw away email address on my domain to play around and
test, the fetchmail and procmail hand off.  As far as evolution goes. I
guess I could look into it.  However, the emails that are accepted will all
be dealt with in the same way.  The attachments will be saved and that's
pretty much it.  I won't be having to write any custom replies to the emails
and the volume will not be very high (maybe 30 to 100 emails per week).  So
I'm not sure I really need a client.
